Amen! - 01-23-2012, 05:00 PM

Critique: NC:

Sunday afternoon I was in the garage thinking of what I should do when the sun started peeking through the clouds. Since it was late I decided to check the eagles out in Baytown. After getting there the clouds came back and I was contemplating packing it up. I was disappointed the two perches were now broken. To top it off they may have started another nest that can not be seen. Time will tell. It flew in from the golf course and landed on the famous perch. It had just took a bath and gently spread it's wings. Then it slowly lowered the head as if to pray. Amen!

Wow! I'm sure glad you stuck around. That is a beautiful photo! And your caption is so powerful. If he had a fish in his talons, you could say he was saying grace. :)
