i love nature...

staking claim, originally uploaded by westcoastcreative.

hope the photo of the dead seal doesn't offend you, but seriously, how awesome is that eagle? we happened upon this scene last weekend on the west coast of the island, and i managed to get remarkably close to the eagles (they were about 10 circling overhead and plotting their move) and their scavenged meal.

it was actually a nature-filled weekend, with river otters, sea lions, seals, eagles, grey whales and a humpback whale, a sea otter, and many other birds. not to mention tidal pools full of life. is it any wonder i love this place?
