Bald Eagle! :)

Hello all! This is going to be an exciting post for me! I saw, for the first time in my life, a Bald Eagle! In real life! It wasn't even an hour ago, so I am still super excited! Here is the story:
Me and my aunt went to Sister Act (coolest store ever) in Ellsworth. On the way home she suddenly starts slowing down. She says "A Bald Eagle!" and I say "where?" I see it, then exclaim, "and I don't even have my camera!" She says, "Yes! you do!" (I had just been at my sister's craft fair, and she wanted me to take pictures.) I then proceed to freak out. I quickly get it out and put together. She rolls down the window so not to make noise. I am snapping pictures like crazy. We slowly back up to get a better view. Then, it flies! Wow. What a breathtaking experience to see an eagle in flight! It was so close! So big, and powerful! Eagles have a six-foot wingspan. Wow. It flew across the road. I hop out and take off after it. I quietly ran across a random person's yard (If you are reading this, thank you!) and I found it again. I got a picture or two, then it flew again! This time I got one decent one of it flying. The most ironic part of the whole deal is that I was wearing my Decorah Eagle shirt.

I have no words to describe what a privilege this was.

Look! It has it's eye closed!

This has to be one of the most majestic creatures in God's creation!

This picture gives you a good idea of how huge these birds are!

Here is the eagle flying off into the distance. It is hard to spot. Look closely and you will see it! Look how big it's wings are!

 I am so thankful I was able to capture these. I am thankful God had it all worked out so I would even have my camera with me! Wow.
