Inbetween thundery evenings DH and I have been traipsing about the Carolinas this weekend.
We headed back to Dupont State Park to visit Hooker Falls again. Little did I know that in the Summer time it turns into a watery playground and less of a spot for tranquil photography adventures....
Nevertheless there were a few interesting photo opportunities and the summer frolikers to watch....
Like the kids jumping off Hooker Falls , the ones creeping behind the falls and then the ones careening down "Sliding Rock" at Pisgah ....
Then today we snuck off to the Carolina Raptor Center, which is not that far from our house.
There were lots of lovely feathery creatures there to take pictures of ..... the English Barn Owl, and a few more to boot...
The last pic is of a Bald Eagle that was part of the "educational" presentation.
He was a magnificent creature despite the fact that he was securely tethered to the handler's glove... and he seemed to be quite keen to participate in the event and was even taking questions afterwards.... at least that is what he looked like he was doing....
Wow! What a waterpark! Great photos, as usual. Love the owl and other feathered friends. Your photos are so sharp and clear. I see a lot of Bald Eagles soaring overhead around here, this guy does rather look like he holds the wisdom of the ages as he does his Q&A :-)
