A Golden Eagle. A Leaf. A cloud. 11-15-2023.

Greetings from San Cristobal, NM. This week a Golden Eagle in flight. A lone cottonwood leaf and an unusual cloud formation over the San Cristobal Valley.

There’s a little wetlands in Taos I often take a walk there. This cottonwood leaf, bigger than my hand, was asking to be photographed. I was happy to oblige.

The cloud below screamed out for a picture. It first appeared much like any other lenticular cloud forming, but quickly grew a tail. Moments after, just like that, it became one with all the other particles.

I was sure it was going to become a Bottlenose Dolphin… almost!

As always, thank you for looking. Have a great week and if I miss you next week, Happy Thanksgiving. G

  1. It’s like magic how the light found its way through the leaf. Also, how determined that golden eagle looks, with those great claws flexed and ready!

  2. Great photo of the Golden Eagle in flight. One caused quite a sensation when it appeared in a garden near Cardiff this week .
