Spring Coming to Texas

I got out for the first time this year with my camera…and a canoe. Spring is slow­ly creep­ing back to Texas. Soon it will be 100 degrees in the shade. But for now, we will enjoy the warm days of spring. I went out to a famil­iar place to see if the Bald Eagles I have pho­tographed for the past three years had returned to the nest­ing site. I was so excit­ed to see that the pair of majes­tic birds had returned. They were about their usu­al busi­ness of tak­ing turns sit­ting on their yet to be hatched offspring.

See­ing these awe­some­ly designed crea­tures nev­er ceas­es to amaze me, always bring­ing to mind that verse in Isa­iah, chap­ter 40, verse 31:

Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.
