Next to finishing my book Screenwriting with Brass Knuckles, the best use of my time during the Covid pandemic has been taking up kayaking in April. This month I’ll hit my 100th day out on a 440 acre lake. Each trip lasting 60-90 minutes in the early morning or late afternoon—times when any other year I would be commuting to or from work.
This morning I was the only one on the lake for the entire time and I saw something I’d never seen before—two Bald Eagles together. I thought I’d missed the shot because as I paddled closer one flew away. I forgot about it until tonight and then this shot grabbed me. Since it was just taken zoomed in with an iPhone the resolution wasn’t great. But I ran it through the Prima filter (just as I did with this rowing shot) and I thought the results came out pretty decent.
They are beautiful and majestic creatures. In 1782, the bald eagle was chosen as the national bird of the United States of America.
