I have never seen this view of an eagle. Usually they are high up in trees and not in motion. To me he looks like he has arms and hands.

This was taken on a trip to Antaritica from about a mile away using a long range lens. I just kept snapping photos and was delighted with this one. That was 15 years ago and I have taken a lot of whale photos since, but none better.
Like I said in the introduction, I don't use photoshop to change the photo. The bird was there when I snapped the photo. Just lucky!
This was the first whale I saw on the first day of my Hawaii trip. Figured I would see many more during the rest of the trip. The reason you do not see more whale photos from Hawaii is because this was it.
As you have probably noticed, I love whales. This one emerged from the water very close to our small boat. Another few yards and we could have exchanged some conversation.
RWANDA. 1984. Taken with a film camera and no zoom lens --they were that close to us!

This is a blue boobie. The photo was taken in the Galapagos Islands. I put him on my website because his turquoise feet are said to be unique. If that is not true then off he goes.
