We drove into town to go to the new Michael’s Craft store. It was so much fun to walk around to see what’s new. Hubby needed boxes to organize things on the new shelves he put up over his desk. I needed important things like pink felt and buttons for bunny and bear eyes.
And on our way home, we drove down a street that has a small pond. A good place to get out and walk around.
It was a beautiful setting.
And when we got out of the car we saw an eagle soaring overhead.
What a beautiful sight.
It’s not a rare sighting here in Florida but it’s very exciting for us to see!
Sometimes it pays to go the ‘long way’ home.
(we still have so many wildflowers blooming, too!)
Have a beautiful day filled with happiness
and maybe just a little excitement!

Not so many years ago the Eagles were endangered. Today we see them soar greeley and always takes our breath away. Wonderful photos, Diane. Isn't Michaels fabulous? And a wee bit dangerous.

Not easy to capture a soaring eagle. I get very excited to see them. Beautiful countryside you've shared.
Beautiful photos! We have many eagle at the lake where I live. They nest in the woods across the lake from our house. Great fun to watch them. They are so majestic!

Morning, beautiful pictures. Always feel so connected with nature seeing the Bald Eagle flying, Blessings Francine.
It's always exciting to see and Eagle. I am yearning for the wildflowers. Still too cold here.
Breathtaking! Thank you for sharing your day and beauty with us :)
Hugs to you, my friend!
how lovely!
That's the way to do a shopping excursion -- in the words of Jackson Browne "once in a while take the scenic route!" Beautiful pictures. Envious of your flight shots -- I wish I could ever get a picture like that!)
Wonderful-- I've never seen a bald eagle in person. Great pics. Michael's sounds fun too.
I need a fun trip to a store just to browse! Love the Eagle pics! It's looking beautiful there!
hugs,
Linda
I love your peaceful FL excursions, even Michaels!
It looks very pretty there! How exciting to see the eagle flying overhead too! I hope you have a lovely weekend.
Perfect blue sky! I hope someday to see an eagle in the wild!
Taking the long way home resulted in some very pretty photos. Love the wildflowers and eagle. Have a good weekend.
Beautiful pictures. Have a wonderful week end. Looking forward to see where your next long way home takes you.
Hello Diane
Sometimes the best scenery just happens without our seeking it. The eagle is always an exciting visitor.
Have a wonderful weekend

How exciting to see the Eagle! I love trying to photograph them.
great photos,
hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Hope you got some "google" eyes just for fun at the store! lol I love taking the long way home and seeing what I can see. The place next to us is called The Eagles Nest. There used to be a ton of them around here but now we seldom see them. Sad-they are magnificent birds, aren't they? xo Diana
Beautiful photos!! I love going to Michaels to check out their jewelry making supplies. Hope you have a great weekend.
hugs,
Cindy
Beautiful pictures! I love the eagle.
My husband wonders why I don't take the freeway when I drive to Michael's and Target, but I prefer the drive through the fields.
What a gorgeous drive you had.
I love that shot of the pretty wildflowers along the road. I'd be quite excited to see an eagle! : )
Those wildflowers are gorgeous and they fit in well with your blog color scheme!
I love this quote
"Sometimes it pays to go the ‘long way’ home."
Longer journey means longer chances of encountering different pieces of beauty.
Diane,
Driving along country roads is one of my favorite things to do. There is always something interesting to see. The eagle that you saw soars beautifully in the sky. It must have been a sight for you.
love,
~Sheri
It certainly IS a delight to see the eagles soaring above!!
