This week's topic for Friday August 24th suggested by Lauren: SUMMER AFTERNOON!
What does a "summer afternoon" mean or feel like to you....?
A bike ride....along my very favorite route that I wrote about here. All summer, on our weekend rides, we have watched a mother bald eagle nesting in a perch along the rode. This past Sunday, the 'babies' are trying out their wings.
As we stopped to watch them, others stopped....
Mr R....AKA, the bird whisperer....took these beautiful action shots.
The last... after 'whispering'...looking eye to eye.
ahhhhhhhhhh Steph...

and I haven't heard this in ages...
just what I needed

love your style, and seal does he not remind you of an eagle (bald) but I totally find him a great singer and attractive.
