Eagle Sighting in The Shire!

It's by the Grace of God that I was able to take the pics below! 

Daughter & I saw a bald eagle resting in one of our paddocks from our deck  First looked real good with the binoculars  Then, I decided to go take a closer look 

While going I was asking " Lord make him stay". But with all the excitement  (I so love eagles) I had forgotten to take my camera & realized it once at the gate!    I ran back to the house pleading with God to make the eagle wait   

I grabbed my camera but didn't have the time to get the bigger zoom. It took me quite some time as he was pretty far back in the paddock. 

So I kept saying the same prayer!   

A calf was able to stare at him like about 10 feet from him and the eagle was just staying , but when I tried to get closer he decided to fly away. 

I followed  and saw him perched on a tree close to our back paddock.   

Here I went for a longer walk praying " Lord give me a 2nd chance " and that's when I was able to get nicely close and took several shots, couldn't help to be a little shaky   with the excitement!   

Then, the eagle visibly got tired of being on the spotlight  and left. 

I followed took few more pics while he was flying, heard him cry as he kept flying. What a great blessing!   

Millie glad you enjoyed!
