Hope you had a great weekend.  I vegged Saturday.  The weather was nasty with snow and freezing rain so it was the perfect time to lay low and catch up on some nap time and lessons.

Yesterday I decided it was high time I cleaned up and cleaned out my office.  I had been looking for three things for sometime and had been frustrated by piles of stuff everywhere.  I guess I inherited this from my Mother but I tend to be a pack rat and just won’t throw anything away.  Couple that with that I am always in an acquisition mode and you can see the problem. 🙂

I like the image above.  I was playing around with some of the images I took Friday evening and thought this image of Josh would look good in black and white.  But his beautiful deep blue eyes need to shine through.

Then as I finished cleaning my office I happened to check my cell phone.  There was a message from a friend of mine (sent at 9:30 am) saying that her and her husband were in Green Island and there were over a “thousand” eagles there.

This was at 5:30 pm so needless to say even if I had been able to have Scottie transport me there instantly there wouldn’t have been enough light to take images. 😦

Oh and speaking of Eagles, I have a treat for you.  Luther College in Decorah, Iowa has an “Eagle Watch” live streaming video of a Mother / Father eagle nesting near the fish hatchery and as of this morning there are two eggs in the nest.

Jeanne and I spent a fair amount of time just watching the event.  The changing of the guard, repositioning the egg to warm it evenly, and watching the ever vigilant parent protect their precious eggs.
