My little adventure today began at our local Nature Center, where I came to see two noble Bald Eagles—once masters of the sky, now grounded forever. They were injured, rescued, and healed, but their wings will never touch the wind.
It ached to see them behind the wire, eagles meant for the heavens. Yet, I lifted my camera—when else would I stand so near to such fierce beauty?
Later, looking through the photographs, I thought why not set them "free". So I have changed the background - at least in the image these raptors can soar again.
Generally, life is good.
Nunca había visto un águila tan cerca. Tus fotos tienen ese plus, son bellas en sí mismas y además muestran a los protagonistas en tamaña suficiente para apreciar los mínimos detalles. Y no todo se le debe a la óptica, tu mirada y tu modo de oprimir el disparador en el momento mejos para que se aprecien esos detalles, es algo que está en tí.

wow beautiful photos and I like what you did. We have up in Big Bear Alpine Zoo - a rehabilitation also zoo, years ago I took photos of a Bald Eagle that will probably never be set free because of injuries. I forgot all about that memory. Love these photos. Many people across the country follow the two bald eagles that have a nest and have raised babies. Some years the kids don't survive the winter but this year Jackie and Shadows two kids fledged off about two weeks or so ago.
