Spring has Sprung at Dewart Lake



Spring has finally arrived at Dewart Lake, today it is 66 degrees and most sunny. The sky is blue with white clouds scattered about. This morning I spent the time in the cottage doing some spring-cleaning; might I say yuck, however it needs it and if I do a little each time up it’s not as hard to do. The harder part will be later this summer when scraping of old paint and touch up painting is done.

About 2 o’clock, I said enough is enough and decided to come out and enjoy the sun. I did trim the grass a bit, in case the neighbors decide to mow. About 45 minutes to an hour later, I decided I was glad I had a pair of shorts. It was no nice to feel the sun on the skin again.
 
The lake is alive with boats, fishermen, kayakers and I do not know what the other things were. They were like wave runner or skidoo; however, they were standing up.
 

The birds are active too. I have seen red winged black birds, male and female, blue heron, bald eagle, geese, ducks, swans, nuthatch, blue jay and some little bird that is unfamiliar to me. 

At first, I thought it was a baby duck, however, no parents around so that was unlikely. Getting a good look at them is challenging too as soon as you try to focus, they submerge and swim under water and pop up where they are not expected.
  
Of course, as I am writing I still have my camera near by in hopes to get even a better picture of the Bald Eagle. Although, I think it will be touch beating the photograph of him/her capturing a fish for lunch. If you have not seen that great capture, you can see it on RedGage or Bubblews.



In the mean time I am enjoying this beautiful day filled with sunshine, how about you?

Bald Eagle Goes in for the Catch

If you like my capture, please go to RedGage and rate it!
I was at the cottage at Dewart Lake April 4, 2013. It was the first trip for the season, however I got my best photo ever. I posted it on RedGage right away in hopes to make some money and maybe even bonus money. I don't know if it is because RedGage site is messing up or if the RedGage people simply don't recognize a great capture.
After eating fish!

I was so excited whether the RedGage people appreciate it or not. Just seeing the eagle on my first trip to the cottage was good, however, seeing him/her catch it's lunch was great!
