Hi everyone,
I have an amazing experience every day on my drive in to work. I have to drive through the Haverstraw Marina everyday and I get to enjoy the river. Every day it's different and it's always beautiful. It's just as amazing to watch on a stormy day like we had last week, as it was this morning with the bright sun. It's constantly changing and every day I get to take it all in.
Well, today was a particularly wonderful experience. As I was driving along the river's edge, I looked up, and there in front of me on a tree was an eagle. I couldn't believe it. I pulled the car over to the side of the road and told my 5 year old daughter to come and look. She was as amazed as I was. We sat and just watched for about 5 minutes. It had a white head and beak, brownish body and white tail. When it turned it's head in our direction my daughter cheered and I almost got emotional.
We eventually strapped our seat belts back on and continued on our way. But it had been a perfect moment and I felt blessed to have had experienced it.
