Bald Eagles Put on Show

I went back to the Seattle area for a couple weeks, spending the July 4 holiday there. 

I have lots of photos to go through. Oh, so many. And not just from that trip.

Images for future posts will include those from the...

 Chase Garden near Graham, WA,

Old Goat Farm in Orting, WA,

Missouri Botanical Garden, St Louis, MO

Butterfly House, Chesterfield, MO,

Laumeier Sculpture Park, St Louis, MO

and more...

But the first ones I want to share with you are of the bald eagles. 

They put on a show for all of us who had their eyes on the sky

on July 4.

A recent news report included an amazing video of 

two adult bald eagles fighting near Seward Park in Seattle.

One eagle was injured but both survived.
See the video here.

A new day dawned, 

and July 5 brought both peace and quiet,

both overhead, and on the lake.

Until next time....

Snapshot View of the MOBOT Japanese Garden

Yesterday was an overcast, drizzly, chill-to-the-bone kind of day.

Perfect for a trip to the Missouri Botanical Gardens!

Here is a shot I took using my phone in the Japanese Gardens.

Hope your views have also been beautiful.
