and so I wait for the Osprey to return.
A few days ago, the National Park Service finally erected a jersey wall/snow fence barricade around the emergency turn-off from the parkway where people were illegally parking their cars to watch the Belle Haven bald eagles. Foot traffic has also been restricted to the Mt. Vernon Trail on the other side of the highway. The result is that the closest views of the birds on public property are now about 100 feet further away -- and driving through there has become far safer. The country club still has not restricted foot traffic on the other side of the nest.
All still on the ole break. Have a good weekend!

He took off right in front of me, too bad the really nice light wasn't working in my favor - so I ended up with that blue/gray background.
Also I forgot how "fast" these guys and gals fly!~ The wind 'whistles' through their wings as they fly.
Watching the ducks, geese, gulls, and the eagle soar in the sky - riding the air currents, getting from point A to point B, today made me think about what we fear. We all want to fly, soar and dive. When we have the opportunity -- do we embrace the moment or do we let fear be the deciding factor? I am no longer scared to fly...

The Osprey teaches us to streamline our lives. simple = better.
