A Sunday In Central Oregon

Today was the second day of the opening weekend of fishing season in Oregon.  As promised to my husband I spent the day with him.  I did not realize how much I needed a day to rejuvenate and re-charge my batteries.

South Twin Resort - La Pine OregonI often tease that my husband and I have very few things in common - but one thing we do have in common is we love to enjoy the area we live.  We could spend days cruising the back roads, seeing what others never see and just hanging out together.

Today was no exception, we packed a picnic lunch - took the dog and headed out to see nature.  We knew from news-reports that only 3 of the local lakes were open due to snow.  South Twin, North Twin and Wickiup, we knew there would be snow but this kind of surprised us.

Because Max (our wonderful million dollar lab) likes to get in the water there was not way we could stop and play with all the serious fishermen. So we headed down the road and found a great place for Max to play in the water. 

Max is a great dog but he is lab through and through and will retreive until your arm feels like it will fall off.  He and I had a blast, Mike could not really trow the training dummy but he enjoyed it as much as we did.

While we were playing in the water and having a great time we were blessed by the sight of an eagle.  Something that we occasionally get to see but never so close as today. This eagle kept swooping down and plucking fish from the lake.  I ran to grab my camera again and he became shy. 

I was so bummed I really wanted to capture that guy to share with you.  Mike needed to get home his leg was starting to hurt so we packed up and on our way out - our eagle could be seen in a tree... he sat pretty for the camera - this is untouched but I had to share it with you.... isn't he beautiful?

I loved my day off with the man of my dreams - it was wonderful to get out there and enjoy the area I love so much... I am ready for tomorrow -

How cool! What an awesome shot! Could you crop it any closer or did it get fuzzy when you tried? Or did you try? Yeah, I'm being nosy. I lie pictures =)

Hi Thesa:  Hooray for You !  You actually did it... you took a day off.  I am so glad you have such a marvelous time.  I love the pictures.  By the way, if you have some sort of picture editing software like Picasa... which is free and what I use... you could "crop" the picture of the eagle in the trees, and come up with a pretty good close-up.  If you don't have that... feel free to email me the picture at KarenAnneStone@gmail.com and I will do it for you, and email it back to you.  Take care... huggs.

Thesa.... that's great.  Glad that you and Mike enjoyed some time alone... and outside. I saw an Osprey up in close while playing golf one year.  To see the wing span was incredible. The Eagle and those in the family of Eagles are such pretty birds.  Again, glad that you all had a good day and hope Mike gets better.

I remember seeing my first eagle and wished I had a camera.

Thesa, what a wonderful time with your hubby and adorable "million dollar" dog :-)  

I was shocked to see the snow in the pics!    I hope hubby is doing better each day and soon will be pain free.

Thesa... You need to take a day or two for relaxation and should do it more this season than most.  Before you know it Mike will be on the road again and you'll have less opportunity for a picnic lunch.

I am IMPRESSED!  Sweet shot of the eagle too!  I am glad that you were able to get away with Mike - I know just how much it was needed for you both ... Max too!  An ocational Sunday off is just what it takes -and a what perfect day it turned out to be.

Thesa, I am happy to hear you had a relaxing day with hubby. You live in such a beautiful place getting out and enjoying it must really be rejuvenating. I love the shot of the eagle!! They are magnificant birds. Did you know that the area I live in has a higher concentration of eagles than any other place in the US with the exception of Alaska? I see them almost every day and every time I do they still take my breath away!!

Thesa - So glad you and Mike enjoyed the day together.  You need to do this more often, life is too short. Can't believe you still have snow!

Loved the eagle picture. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Makes me want to go up in the mountains and sit and enjoy the view.
