Captured ...

I was lucky enough to have some time to spend out along the river. The day was sunny, the temps were rising. A gorgeous day and time spent with Rita. It's the small moment that make it all worth it!

The bald eagle dropped from the tree branch, circling over the river. Suddenly dropping down leveling off right over the river, extending their claws and snatching their mid-morning meal. Majestic. The splash behind as the fish was pulled from the water the exclamation point on the capture.

Folks, you got this ...

Take two! Another shot from along the riverbank of the Des Moines River.

I love the early mornings along the river. Right after sunrise, it's me, maybe a couple of other people fishing, and the animals beginning to stir and grace us with their presence. It gives me time to slow down from the daily grind and recenter myself.

I was lucky enough to grab a shot of this fellow coming in for a landing ...

Good morning, everyone!

A couple of weeks ago, I wandered out to one of my favorite places along the river. Peaceful morning, peaceful moment! Very quiet along the river bank with just a few critters up and moving about.
