we saw three Bald Eagles perched in the Sycamore trees.
A good omen.
I am continuously awed by the work of Mother Nature.
warm for Missouri winters and refreshing in summer.
A shallow river runs through this cavern
making for majestic reflections.
Over 100,000 visitors
walk this 1 1/2 hour tour each year.
When we visited last week it was just
the two of us and our tour guide.
Wonderful ratio for photographers.
Using daylight fill in
I was able to get some nice macros.
My husband used a monopod and a wide angle lens
to get some of the sweeping cavern vistas.
This curtain is world renown.
The Eagles were still perched up
when we came out to our car.
This intimate experience has wetted
my appetite for spelunking.
Missouri has many Show Caves
to keep me busy too.
On the way home from the Caverns
I began running a fever.
I am able to control the fever with aspirin.
I am listening to healing music.
I am staying inside,
studying the dust on the windowsills.
I may order a few prints.
I do hope I am on the mend soon.
Happy Sunday safari.
I hope you and yours are well.

You have shared wonderful majesty with us, thank you for all this beauty. sending you light.
Both the caverns and the eagles are magnificent. I hope you feel better soon.
Poor Sherry, she has come down with a cold. Well it's the wild life you're lead finally catching up to you ;)
Glad you had a good time at the carvens
Sherry,
Get well will ya! Wow great eagle photos! I think I visited this place when I was a kid.
Hi Q,
Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day. I just scrolled through about two weeks of entries and really enjoyed your book selection. I'm a botanist at heart so that wonderful selection of books was a great find. I'd get lost in those books as well.
I also love butterflies and also like looking at dust.
We have a lot in common.
Take care and hope you feel better soon.

I hope you feel much better soon Sherry!
The caves looked so impressive, wonderful photos of them too.
Of course it is the Bald Eagle that draws my attention the most, a really stunning creature!
If you would like some English dust to study you are quite welcome to mine, you would have to come and collect it yourself though ;)
The caverns are amazing. I love the atmosphere of enclosed spaces. Your photography does you credit, the detail is wonderful.
The eagles are so majestic, wonderful to see them.
I hope you are feeling much better soon. Sending you healing thoughts.
The caverns are indeed awesome, and you got some marvelous photos. But I am in total awe of the eagles--how exciting to see them in the wild.
I really should check out this book on "The Secret Life of Dust"--I have a wealth of raw material in my house I could study:)
I hope you're on the mend soon, Sherry! It seems to be that time of year when germs run rampant.
