Sitting in a tree, by a lake..

Oh wow...they are so beautiful. Thanks!

I should have gone! Senior group went to Colorado! Yesterday they were at the base of Pikes Peak. Think she called this the Garden of the Gods.

No Eagles, no gardens today. Just a finished puzzle.

Fantastic photo, nicole! It looks like something one would see in a calendar.

Thanks Dawn. I used a really BIG lens to get that shot. :0) I haven't had THAT lens out in over a year! It's huge & awkward to manage. (600mm with a 1.8 teleconverter)

Glenda...yes...Garden Of The Gods. The Long View. I used to live just up the street from there.

Looked over Dawn's mountains, couldn't see any dots, but did see the multi-coloured residues that result from swipes on screen, so did a few finger-flat-on-screen sweeps to reduce them.

Still no dot over the mountains.

Then saw a dot down near the gap between evergreen branches ...

... (that my disputational feeling today says) ...

... looks to me to be over the valley.

ole joyful

Glenda, that looks like garden of the Gods. You HAVE to go next time. AND do Pikes's Peak! We went to GOG in May when we were staying a half hour away for Granddaughter's HS graduation.

That's a big lens, nicole. The type that causes some serious camera shake unless one is using a tripod!

OJ, it's just the angle of the photo that is keeping you from seeing the mountain the eagle is flying over. Of course, the mtn furthest in the background was quite a bit taller than the ones in the foreground which probably makes it look like there is a valley as well. It could be said that there is a series of mtns that graduate in height the further one goes. Of course, the eagle doesn't care; he goes wherever he wants - hill and dale, valley or flatland, rivers and lakes. Wouldn't it be something to be free like an eagle?
