Watchful

A glance at the calendar reminded me that summer is rapidly giving way to fall which helped me to decide that I was taking Saturday morning off to spend with my camera and kayak.  What a phenomenal morning it was, too! 

I got up early and returned to a chain of lakes that my wife and I had frequented one time last summer in the Harrison Hills area.  That was the first trip that our cameras got to go along for the ride and I remembered there being a fair amount of wildlife including loons and a bald eagle nest.  As it turned out, my memory was correct as I saw both loons and bald eagles again on this trip.

I can’t recall the last time I had such a relaxing morning.  As the sun was came up over the trees, not a ripple was to be seen on the lake and the only sounds were those of the screeching juvenile bald eagle and the beautiful calls of the loons.   What a perfect way to spend a Saturday morning!
