On Our way to Katmai National Park in Alaska we stopped off for an afternoon in Homer, these eagle captures are from the Homer Spit, and a couple from Brooks Falls

It was one of those typical Alaskan days Gloomy with a brite defused sky days, these Images would have been much better if the background had some color, Oh well.

    Wonderful shots but shooting eagles in Homer is like shooitng pigeons in Central Park. biggrinbounce2.gif

    That's why I'm trying to talk Linda into an Alaska trip after we come back from Hawaii.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
