An eagle day for sure!!!!

We decided to go to the Heron Viewing Station north of Danville, Illinois...due to a stop we made, we didn't get there till around 2:00 in the afternoon.  And one of the first things we spotted were two eagles.  By the time I ran back to the car to get my DSLR, there were 3!  But I had missed seeing two of them fighting...


 If you will right click on this photo, and then click to view in a new tab or a new window, it should give you a version big enough till you can clearly see that this is THREE bald eagles.  It is the only shot I got of the three of them.


I did manage to capture two of the adults a few times..


Here again you have the option of right clicking on these to view in another tab or new window...a bigger version will appear if you do it that way I think.

Besides the 3 adult Bald Eagles, there were two juvenile, plus two or three hawks!

The day is done...


We just spent two hours mesmerized by the movie The Children of Huang Shi.

It is about an English journalist that saved a group of orphans during the Japanese Occupation of China.  It is so well done in my opinion.  During the closing credits 3 or 4 of those children talk about him.  It is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time.

If you want to see it, right now it is on YouTube in full length and you can see it here,.  I also posted it at the bottom of this post.  It is two hours long, no interruptions.  At least right now.  So many times I post something like this and before I know it I check it and it is no longer available.

If you choose to watch it, let me know what you think of it.

Remembering EG today


I just cannot do a regular post here since hearing of the accident that killed EG, or Tina Forrester, East Gwillimbury, Camera Girl.  She is one lady that will missed by all.  I only knew her through blogging, but I am betting she was a kind person...a thoughtful person.  My  sympathy goes out to her family and friends.
