How Cool Is That?

Yesterday, after taking Shael to school, I drove to Grove to pass out a few Christmas cards to my friends at Jack & Jill's. I stayed and visited for a while then decided my presence was in the way (that was a good feeling, I didn't have to stay, I wasn't obliged to stop those babies from crying!) so I left. On my way home, almost home, in fact, I popped up over this hill and there, sitting at the tip top of a dead tree to my right, was a bald eagle. The biggest I have ever seen. It was huge! I drove on a few more yards in case another car popped over the hill, and stopped. I rolled down my car's window and snapped a couple pictures with a disposable camera I had with me (the same one with the garage photos on it) that I'm sure won't turn out. It just sat there in that tree, watching me. Talk about majestic looking. I really wished I would have had a better camera with me, one that I could zoom a little. That would have been the perfect picture if I'd had zoom. Optical zoom, not just digital. I couldn't believe how big that thing was. It couldn't be the same one I saw fly over me a couple months ago, this one was way bigger. I wish it would have taken flight while I was watching it so I could have seen how wide it's wing span was. You see them on TV or in pictures and they look big, but when you see one in real life, you realize how big they really are. Massive. It was the most beautiful sight to see. I called Mike up right away and said "Guess what I just saw! It was so cool!" I'm so glad I went to J&J's before coming home or I would have missed seeing it.
