Photohunters: Open
Last year, as my daughter and I sat in our cute little inflatable kayaks on Canandaigua Lake, I was able to get pretty close to a beautiful Eagle perched in a tree near the lake. I sat, awestruck that I was allowed this glorious view of a most amazing bird! As I watched, the bird suddenly spread its wings……
and lifted up into the air! The open wings were incredible!
The only downside to this adventure was that I was using my little Panasonic point and shoot camera. Oh, how I wished I could have had my D-SLR with me!
Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint

Wow! Fantastic shot! I’d love to see that beast someday.
What a beautiful creature! You were at the right place and at the right time to see this majestic bird.
It seems to me you managed incredibly well without your DSLR! Wonderful shot!
Thanks for your visit earlier.
what an incredible shot! Beautiful!
What an awesome catch and great photo for today’s theme.
Awesome “Open” photo! Thanks for checking our Photo Hunt out today too. Have a great weekend.
If that had been me in your situation, I think I would have been so excited that I’d have rocked the kayak so much that both people in it would have fallen into the water! :O
It’s an awesome shot even with a point and shoot. How lucky to get to see that magnificent bird!
Absolutely amazing capture!
magnificent creature! I just love eagles. Point or shoot or not, you captured it well. happy weekend!
Great shot no matter what the camera!
Incredible shot. You were so fortunate to be at the right place and the right time. I also like the open interpretation.
it’s a nice capture despite taken on a p&s camera!
At least you had your point and shoot with you. Imagine how much more you’d be kicking yourself if you didn’t have a camera with you at all.
That’s a fantastic shot of the open wings on the eagle. Great choice for the theme. Happy weekend.
You still managed to get a pretty great shot!
I’m so glad you visited me because I may have missed you otherwise. I’m so proud of you! You did what I couldn’t do. Don’t be upset you didn’t have the DSLR. I did. Then, doing everything my husband told me not to do, I fell into the river with it. So I pulled up onshore, and what did I see? TEN bald eagles!! TEN! and NO working camera!!! So thank you for catching him taking off like this; I will get my shot sooner or later. Get this printed and framed. (My Canon went to hospital and $500 later, it works again. I have now bought a waterproof camera for kayak trips.)
great shot! I never leave home without my dslr!
Mine’s up — My son, out in the open sea, swimming with the dolphins.
