Roger wanted to get out a little yesterday...so we headed up to roam around Parke County....and this was the highlight of our day....isn't he handsome. I wasn't that far away from him....but those twigs in front of him make it hard to focus. I was slowly walking up closer to him when he took off....
Talk about a big bird...he seemed huge....and when he took off, he was just gone. We watched him go down the valley and then came back our way but off a ways to the side...and in the meantime I had noticed another one...a juvenile...
and then there was another eagle, but all too far away. I could have stood there forever watching the three of them....I had been complaining that it had been a while since we had seen an eagle and then to see them two days in a row!!!*************
I had intentions to visit blogs today but instead last night I discovered a few of my photos were missing from a particular day. I have my photos in folders by day taken...and part of the photos were there, but several weren't. I first checked to see if they were just missing in Picasa and maybe were on the computer but could not find them anywhere. I checked the external hard drive that I had used to transfer them....they were missing on it, also.
So I had to start up the old laptop and transfer them from it. And today in between other jobs I have been going through each folder for the XTi to try to make sure no more photos were missing...I found some that I thought were missing, and have gone through almost 11,000 photos and only found one that I cannot find anywhere...and with the folder it is in, it is nothing special.
I am trying to decide if I am going to do the rest...I probably will but going to take a break from it. I have close to another 10,000 photos from my original Rebel...I just cannot bear the thoughts of starting on those right away.

It was a beautiful day here....true shirt sleeve weather. I even have a daffodil blooming but did not take a photo of it. We had storms last night, but nothing major here where I live.
You were definitely in the right place at the right time!
ReplyDeleteIt's truly a thrill to see those Bald Eagles! Nice work.
ReplyDeleteOh man!! These are great pictures!! Imposing and elegant!
ReplyDeleteThat eagle looks very majestic sitting in the tree and look at the wingspan on him, wow, he is a big bird.
ReplyDelete10,000 pictures, phew I understand why you want a break. That's a lot of pictures.
Fine shots of the eagles. They are so majestic whether perched on a branch or especially in flight. I have been going back of photos on a couple of older hard drives that I had disconnected. Most are duplicates, but occasionally I find one I had missed somehow. It is so time consuming to check and avoid duplicating too much.
ReplyDeleteOnce my weather clears here, I can't wait to go "in search of" here...they say they are close by!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteWonderful eagle photos! Wow, you had a great sighting! And thank you so much for your comments on my piggy bank and the rodeo posts! Wow, you have a LOT of pictures to go through! But it will be fun, if time-consuming!
ReplyDeleteYou got some really nice shots. Patti was sure she saw a bald eagle just up the road from us.
ReplyDeleteAny day you see 3 eagles is a great day :-) Great shots of them, too. You are more organized than I am with your photos. I need to go through a lot of mine and organize them better. It was good seeing you at the quilt show yesterday! Wish we could have had more time to talk.
ReplyDeleteyou are so lucky to see Eagles,
