The Usual Drive

I don’t have any trips to blog about but it doesn’t always have to be about special trips right? Jeff and I made our usual trip to the valley to visit family and I took advantage of the opportunity to capture some eagle pics..

The photos turned out better than I expected. I wasn’t expecting much, in fact I didn’t even bother downloading the pictures onto the laptop until the next week because, one, I had problems with lighting, two, the birds were too far and high, and three, I really haven’t figured out how to use my camera… ya, bag of excuses.

Here are a couple of the eagle pics, which I think I may blow one up and get it framed. Still figuring out which is the best pose and how best to crop it.

This one is out of focus.. still not too bad.

There is the bear along Highway 7 between Dewdney and Deroche that we always look out for. It used to be brown, until someone decided to burn it. (But on closer examination, maybe it was an intentional burn…) In the summer time he had a lei around its neck, so it’s only fitting that it is looking all Christmassy now..
