A 4 Eagle day!

We headed to Terre Haute this morn...the first eagle we saw I did not get a pic of...as we were on the highway and I did not see him till too late.  He was sitting in a tree watching the river.  When the river is crossed, it is not far till you are in Terre Haute.  We had only gone 3 or 4 blocks when I spotted this one flying...soon as we came to a parking lot that he could pull into Roger pulled in.

these are not very good...I was busy trying to capture this one and Roger says hey, there's another one...

And there was this one.  Both juveniles, and I think definitely a year or more apart in age.  The first one's head had quite a bit of white....

So, we went on and did our bit of shopping, and drove around some parts of Terre Haute I had never been in.  When we headed home we went a different route...I almost told Roger to go back to the way we came but then thought no, we have seen eagles this way, too.  And before we got out of North Terre Haute, I spotted the one below.

Nothing better than seeing eagles!

A bit of Randomness

1.  Lorelei was here last weekend and called for me to come look...she was watching this fellow across the street.  This is not a good pic...it was not still a second.  Peck, peck, peck!

2.  We saw this calf last week...I couldn't resist snapping a couple even though I was having a real hard time seeing the viewing screen of my point & shoot camera.

3.  This is the type of weather we were having two years ago today.  I am beginning to think we might not get any of this this year.  But a little snow is predicted for Monday and Tuesday...

4:  For a little laughter:


 5.  Just in case you missed it, I finished the Lotus quilt top yesterday....you can see it here.

I am linking to Willy Nilly Friday 5

The Lotus quilt top is together!

This is on a queen sized bed---it is for a King size.  I am so glad to have it together at long last.  Now to figure what will do as a backing and batting.  At first Daughter wanted to just use flannel for the backing.  I knew I could handle that.  But then she decided she wanted a thing batting, and either a batik or just plain cotton fabric for the backing.

I have no idea how I will get this done.   The thing is I really would like to be able to do the quilting myself...I just like to do my projects from start to finish.  But the size of this one may force other options.  We shall see.
