Like an eagle…

It’s late, I’m tired, it’s cold and really should be in bed.  (Long day mustering, preg-testing and innoculating cows – you can thank me later for going easy on the pics!)

But I HAD to share one photo with you.

I took it yesterday (Sunday) as I went to shoot my cousin’s baby. (With a CAMERA, silly).  Got some fun shots there, which I may share if I get permission from the parents…

However THIS one (taken en route to visiting with Tom and Nell and Prue) gave me SUCH a thrill.

It only took a minute, for something I would normally have driven past, thinking I was in too much of a hurry to stuff around.  (And I usually am.)  I saw this big guy fly from the roadside (obviously from feasting on some roadkill) and up into a tree about 50 metres away.

I eased the car forward and took this pic.

These are the things that give me a thrill.

Hope you enjoyed it too.

G’night all.
