That's My Sunburnt World Tuesday...

Ahhhhhh... great weather this afternoon; sun, fresh ocean air and not too hot... perfect. I spotted a couple of bald eagles while walking along the water. I saw this eagle fly from some rocks (look at that wing span!) and...




... land up on a set of lights, joining another eagle. See them in the top left?




I get closer...




And closer...




And even closer...



I so badly want a very zoomy lens and some 30 SPF sunscreen... Look at them, looking at me and licking their chops. I think they could smell my flesh sizzling away.

If anyone is interested in some live web cam views of some nesting bald eagles and their eggs and/or wee babies: Hancock Wildlife Foundation's eagle nest cameras.

    Nice to see those eagles on an ordinary place for a change. I thought you zoomed close enough but I know the feeling when you want more!

    Interesting - never thought I would see an eagle flying over the ocean

    Great shots. I thought all cameras had zoomy lenses nowadays. They're not that expensive anymore.

    I was going to post about ospreys but eagles trump osprey.

    Not that you could see anything here today, foggy foggy foggy

    How great to see eagles on a stroll along the front: better than the mangy seagulls, which is all I see at the beach in my hometown!

    I love how you got so close to those eagles. But maybe it's because they were hungry? The first photo is awesome.

    Aren't Eagles just beautiful?

    Sometime I see young ones here at work and it is always a pleasant surprise.

    Great shots. And such a cute town you live in.
