My wife and I did an over-niter at a beach house near Colonial Beach, Virginia. It was a restful and relaxing time. We both took the time to take advantage of the opportunities given us. Mine of course was photography. The morning was incredibly foggy, no... I mean foggggy. Took a few pics and then waited a awhile; did some reading, did some work on the computer while sipping a cup or two of coffee and soon enough it was time to get out. I decided to take a short stroll on the beach and found some interesting sites. I always take my fishing rod with me when I believe I may have the chance to use it. So I'm on the dock casting my lures to no avail, I was having no luck at all. Then, off in the distance I see a Bald Eagle waaaaay out on a buoy across the water. He stayed there for a very long time. I was hoping to get him flying in toward shore. I figured I had time to make a quick trip to the house, which I did. Came right back out and he was gone. I missed the flight he made into a tree about a hundred yards away and landed with his back toward me. Anyway... Here are a few shots of the eagle. I always feel very fortunate every time I see a Bald Eagle, to me, they are so majestic.

| I can't tell you what type of foot prints we have here but they were scattered all over a section of the beach... |

| I saw this flower up and above the beach rubble. I'm afraid I don't know the identity of this beauty. I thought it a bit unusual for this time of year. |

| Here is the Bald Eagle way way out across the water... |
 |
| Here he is, perched, with his back toward me. He was facing into the wind... |

| Lookin' right... |
