Bald eagle soars through the blue skies

Taken in Adams County, Colorado this past Sunday. I simply cannot get enough of these majestic creatures.

Some months ago my daughter brought to my attention a poem by Alfred Tennyson that I find most fitting:

The Eagle

He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring’d with the azure world, he stands.

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.
