Another eagle! One of mannnny pics!
Well we did our annual trip up the River Road the past 2 weekends to see the eagles and the deer! We tried out our new christmas presents to boot! I tried my new Nikon digital camera and Tom tried his new tripod and scope! We also used our new TomTom gps to find our way. We went up the River Road, across the Hardin bridge, to Winfield Dam. Then we stopped in Brussels to eat at the old Wittmond's Hotel ---yummmmmie! Their blackberry cobbler was terrific! Then we rode the Brussels Ferry back across the river, stopped in Grafton at the new Mourings Winery, listened to music, ran into friends Cindy & Todd, sat and talked awhile then went on our merry way last weekend. Then this weekend, we just went up the River Road again, to Grafton, got a soda and Paradise donut holes (not quite the same feast as the previous week), then back down the road, took many many pics, of course!, and back home again. We love doing this each January. The river freezes up north and the eagles always migrate down this way to the Alton river area. I hope you enjoy the pics!
