(bottom) As we drove down the road to get gas on our way to meet 2 of my children for Christmas lunch, we found these 4 Bald Eagles sittings around. One had a kill, the other 3 wanted it.

(the picture in the middle) Two ofthe eagles take wing...they sparred for a moment trying to gain rights to the kill.

(Top picture) One lone eagle flies into the trees with the kill!

A Break in the Storm

Today during a break in the storm we went back to the beach. The waves were not as high as I would have expected, but this break jetty offered some interesting shots

These images are of an old house and shed on Rt 204.....somewhere in Alabama
