A female eaglet, none have left the nest yet.

My first view of the roiling smoke.
Smoky sunset.
Smoky sunset. That's the male osprey.

The neighbours brought us some Santa Rosa plums so we made jelly.
Oh, I do enjoy Santa Rosa plums! Great flower pictures here. If you want to escape the smoke for a bit, you know where we live. -- Richard
