These are more images from Dubois, Wy. This land is so big that it is hard to shoot a photo that will give a real feeling of the land. I had gotten up just before dawn the morning that I took these pictures of the red hills. As the color started to come up in the sky it was reflected on the river. Although I saw some great photo opps. I was on a mission to get down the road and back to these red hills as the sun came up. The point of this rambling is, I didn't get any good shots of the Wind River. I took this lone one with the hills in the back ground and it isn't from it's best vantage point. While I was driving, I saw a silhouette of a very large bird fly over head. Wondered what it was, on the way back home, when the lighting had gotten better, another one flew closer by, along the river, I about fell over when I realized it was a Bald Eagle! Although we do have them in CA., it is rare to see them. One can't help but be impressed by this National symbol of freedom.

They still give the idea of the vastness of the area. What gorgeous light on the red rocks. We have so many bald eagles around here that they are like glorified seagulls. We used to have a house on the ocean and in the spring the eagles would teach their young how to fish. There would be a bunch of different parents with their babies and they would all line up and watch the adults dive for fish. Then one by one they would take their turns trying. It was really fascinating to watch.
