The other day hubby and I were getting on I-4 and I saw a Bald Eagle! I was so upset that I didn't have my camera and we weren't in a good place to pull over to attempt to use my cell phone camera.
Then today hubby and I were out and about with camera in hand just in case I saw some fun Halloween or fall decorations. We were on our way home and cruising close to a lake and there it was, another Bald Eagle! I was so excited and yelling to hubby "pull over, pull over"! Talk about driving under pressure. LOL We pulled off the road and I jumped out of the car! He or she was sitting high, about 100ft away, over looking Lake Conway. I started snapping while I could hear the birds behind me crying because this powerful bird was too close for comfort! He didn't sit still for long, but it was a beautiful sight to see. I thought with the election close by this was a perfect time to see a Bald Eagle.
I found a couple of websites with some great information about the Bald Eagle, our national symbol.

I have to tell you that seeing our country's national symbol at this time has really lifted my spirits. Seeing two Eagles in five days is a sign to me that everything will be okay, we're strong!

Awesome photos. Yes! God bless America!
That is so beautiful.
Lucky girl! You got some great shots. (I'm jealous)
Beautiful Marie!! How neat you were there at the right time to see them two times; definitely God's timing indeed! And you are right, it really will be okay here in America!! God sent me a hawk after my mom died, I wrote about it on my blog, so whenever I see a hawk I know everything is going to be alright with whatever I'm going through:)
great pictures!

Oh Marie, what a fabulous sight! You got some great shots of him. Seeing two in one week is amazing, I haven't seen one in years. In AK I saw large groups of them often but since leaving there I have only seen a couple.
WOW what a superb capture!!! I would have done the same thing, getting hubby to pull over and I would have hopped out while the car was still moving.
HOPE your day is a good one.
Isn't that really unheard of in Florida? I will take it as a sign too. They were beautiful! sandie
he is beautiful, i wonder if he visits us, you are only 90 miles away by road, and he can do a straight line. we have several out East and several in the preserve. but i have never gotten a photo of one. these are great. i can feel your excitement coming out of my screen.
That is awesome, and gives me the same feeling as you.. It is a reminder of how strong our country is, and also reminds me of the freedoms we have. Thanks for posting
They are a beautiful sight to behold and I like the thought of what your sighting symbolizes. Works for me
I couldnt have said it any better to be honest! keep up the awesome work. You are very talented & I only wish I could write as good as you do :) …
Wow, so rare to see an eagle! What a majestic bird. You are lucky to get those pictures!
