    For sure it has nothing to do with the very FINE quality of this amazing capture… but I have to tell ya that it made me BUST with laughter!! Aptly titled… BRAVO!!

  • Rick & Deb Larson replied

    LOL DJ!!! It was like he was just suspended in the air, trying to decide what he wanted to do. I can’t believe that I caught it so well (I have to give the credit to my new camera and lens). THANKS SO MUCH DJ!! Take Care :-)

    What a GORGEOUS capture Deb & Rick. What a thrill to be able to see all these beautiful eagle shots through your eyes (lens)!

  • Rick & Deb Larson replied

    Hi Renee, so glad that you are enjoying (where were you?? there was an empty spot right next to us where…let me see…I think you were supposed to be??!!...I am sooooo mean!!). We had so much fun with the Eagles (one swooped right over my head and hit me on the head with it’s wing, how cool is that!!??....hey, I was touched by an Eagle!!). THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Take Care :-)

  • Rick & Deb Larson replied

    LOL, it makes me feel so good that everyone is enjoying these shots almost as much as we enjoyed taking them…what an experience that is being right there amongst the Eagles in the wild, you guys are really missing an experience of a lifetime (sounds like I am rubbing that in…but I’m not….wish you all could have been right there with us at our sides, how cool that would have been!! Take Care :-)
