The Bird of Freedom


I am an avid Eagle lover! There is just something about these amazing creatures that move my spirit! While it is rare for me to have an opportunity to view Eagles...I take advantage of each opportunity I am blessed with.

While enjoying Spring Break recently in Florida I managed to find a lovely Bald Eagle sitting on a nest filled with two young ones. The nest was located in the Everglades. I was mesmerized by the beauty that surrounded me.

While I did not physically take the photo which I am posting, I was there when the photo was taken...and the Eagle was as beautiful as the photograph! Enjoy!!!

Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie.....and Spring!!!


Well, Florida was great! It was warm, sunshine was in abundance, the ocean was incredible....and I was sooooo ready for BASEBALL!!!!!!!!!

I had never been to spring training before, even though I love going to the Reds game. This year I decided to make it happen and it was awesome!!! For all those who love baseball I highly recommend it. The atmosphere was just great, you have greater access to the players and lots of older players are there and you have the opportunity to meet them, players like Johnny Bench, Eric Davis, Todd Benzinger and Dave Concepcion.

I posted a photo above that a friend of mine took of Ken Griffey, Jr. at bat. Thought I would share it to get everyone excited for the season! Go Reds!!!

I will be posting a few other photos later in the week. I have some great variety of the wildlife in Florida, the ocean, the sunset and of course the Reds!!!!
