Just click on "POD" which is the link which takes you to the picture of the day.  The POD has back-arrows which allow you to see previous pictures of the day.

Did today's photo make you cringe, db?  Grin

Just to clarify, this was a "posed" shot.  I liked the way the trees framed the lake so I decided to insert the canoe.  Then I decided the canoe just looked all wrong unloaded, so the pack went in.  After the shot, I unloaded and moved the canoe into the water to reload...

I do abuse my canoe, but not nearly to that extent!

GrinAhhh, you know me too well. Abuse! Abuse I tell ya... I tried not to look too hard.

Packs that high only make me chuckle though.

From a photographic standpoint, making it an action shot with someone struggling to drag it into the water would have been a nice touch. Wink

The "high" pack and the Kevlar on the rocks loaded, made me a little bit suspicious considering who posted the POD Wink
  I KNOW he was taught better than that!

That one is an immature eagle.  We saw this eagle and one of it's parents feeding on "something" on the bank of Cutty Creek.  That "something" turned out to be the remains of a huge snapping turtle. 

Mama (or Dad) flew off pretty quickly but "junior" hung around quite awhile while we snapped pics and shot video.  This was by far the closest I've been to an eagle for longer than about 5 seconds.  We spent a good 10-15 minutes practically right underneath him.  We even tried to get him to fly off for some good video by splashing, waving paddles, and shouting.  He was quite unconcerned by it all.
