He Watches From the Tree

old oak branches out
roots along the river's bank
bald eagle within

Thank you Paul...i saw an eagle sitting in the tree over the river and though i didn't get his picture that day he did inspire my muse...the photo is one i took when i spotted a pair resting in a tree... we have many of them around here... hugs

Thank you Vijay, i am not sure about a win, but i am blessed to be able to see them in our skies...(except when i am out with my little dogs, then i worry about seeing the birds of prey more than admiring them) hugs
