So, as some of you may know, I'm a very avid rockhound, weed aficionado some might even say connoisseur, cleaner of the earth, and hopefully a generally kick ass artist to come. I also just acquired a new camera and tripod, but I like going free hand much better. Kind of missing the view finder and manual focus the old school 35mm always offered, though. Anyhow, everyone can use a pretty...



I keep seeing eagles, ospreys, and hawks everywhere I go, I don't know anyone who sees 15 red tailed hawks everywhere they drive, or a pair of bald eagles every time I am around water. But they are amazing critters, so I snapped a few photos for you all to enjoy.

Just figuring out the functions on my new camera... so you have to zoom to see it in this next pic...

Now I found the zoom...

Then an osprey bombed in and took the fish from the eagle... and landed in a tree with it...

I whistled and she looked right at me. I always knew I should be a falconer ha ha

I didn't catch any fish, but the birds did, and I found some cool rocks including a wicked piece of petrified wood and some gorgeous jasper and opal like material. Even picked up some trash and mother nature put on a show to share with y'all!

I always had a fascination for unusual stones. I think it started when I was a pre-teen, and found some rocks that were covered in large green crystals. I later found out the crystal was jade. Ever since then, I would always look for cool looking stones. Spent 20 years living within a few miles of a really weird new-age type store. When my daughter turned 6 or so, she also became interested in interesting stones/crystals. Conveniently enough, this store sold all kinds of cool stuff like that.
 
I don't know where you live Dichoti but I like it already! I saw a golden eagle the week before last, it's been a long time since I saw one in person.
That's one I've never seen here in Appalachia. I think the "rarest" raptor I've seen here was a Peregrine Falcon, And that was on the news because it built a nest and laid eggs in front of a news station's tower camera.

That's cool, my city has a population of them!

I did have a sugar glider living in the tree of a house I had once! He was a cool little dude!
