This bald eagle was part of the HawkQuest exhibit at Denver’s National Western Stock Show, which I attended on Friday evening. Wow, what a magnificent bird!

The only truly good times for nature photography are during the two “golden hours” of each day, the first and last hour of sun in the morning and the evening. Yesterday’s photo of Delicate Arch was taken just moments before the sun sank below a ridge. Today’s photo was taken shortly after yesterday’s sunrise. I don’t know the name of this very prominent rock formation south of Moab along Hwy. 191, but it certainly is stunning in the early morning light.
