Got off work this morning and on the way home I had the potential for a beautiful sunrise. Only problem is .. I'm exhausted.. what to do...
Well let's be honest that's hardly a decision to make. I just hopped out of my truck, pulled out my tripod and took some photos anyways. I am pretty sure every person on the road between the hours of 0600hrs and 0700hrs this morning were scratching their heads wondering who in the right mind is out taking photos on the side of the road at that time of morning. The answer is simple.. ME.
I managed to get a couple decent photos even those my pretty sunrise never materialized. The clouds were just a slight bit too low to provide a break between the mountains and the sun for the rays to shine through. Having said that I managed to get some pretty colours off clouds in the opposite direction and joy of all joys the eagles came to play.
First I saw what appeared to be a juvenile bald eagle who had obviously caught a rat or some similar rodent for breakfast and when the other eagles flew decided to find a less obvious location to consume his meal. I managed to get a slightly blurry photo of him because I was still getting set up but it's creepy because you can see the whole shape of the poor little critter.
Once he had moved on that opened up the tree for a pair of bald eagles who sat there posing for me. All in all a great sacrifice of pictures over sleep. This time at least it was worth it.
