Eagle Sighting!



Taylor has developed a love for eagles in her short 22 months of life. As a result, she has taken special interest in the painting by Rene Magritte, Le Domaine d'Arnheim, an imaginative work of art depicting a mountainous scene in the shape of a bald eagle. On Friday morning, just after some heavy rains, Taylor and I gazed out of the back window as we usually do during breakfast. Covering our normal view of the mountains was a massive cluster of cumulous clouds backlit by the rising sun. Taylor Immediately exclaimed, "Look Mommy! There's an eagle in the mountains!" As I ran to grab the camera, the formation of clouds had already begun to transform, but I was still able to capture of a glimpse of what we saw. It seemed to be a scene right out of a painting.
