I've been out enjoying the gorgeous weather (+15
ish) and sunshine, lately, so I thought I'd share some of what I've been up to!
These crosses stand for babies killed by abortions..apparently it's almost 2000 babies a week! They put these crosses up every year and I think it's an amazing protest. Sad, but amazing. There's one in
Abbotsford, but this one was taken in
Lynden, Washington.
A Canada Goose in flight (it was trying to get away from me..
haha)

I had to phone a friend and make her flip through her bird watching novel to figure out what this was! An American Coot! Isn't it strange looking??

Another ducky, just relaxing in the water.

And I finally found those darn Bald Eagles! 2 of them! And they were at Mill Lake, just down the road from my place..and I had spent 2 weeks driving all over God's green earth searching for them!
Sheesh!

This is the 2
nd one...
every time they left the tree, they were chased down by seagulls.

I waited about 15 min. with my camera to my face for the eagle to fly away for the "money shot"!

The crosses made me cry, glad you ended with some pretty birdy pics :) You are a great photographer!
Your pictures are amazing!
Thanks, guys!!
Hi Krista, I'm a friend of Megan's - now that she has a blog, I found yours. Thanks for the note about the American Coot. I have wondered for a few years what the heck those ducks were!
(I live right near Mill Lake too!)
Thanks Kelly. I took a few more shots out there today of one that I can't identify..so we'll see what I can come up with!
