East Inlet, Pittsburg NH

My wife Angie and I took a day away from our chores the past weekend, opting for a kayaking trip to Pittsburg NH, specifically to kayak the East Inlet. The East Inlet is north of the second Connecticut Lake, not visible from Route 3. It's a pristine body of water. Angie and I had the entire 60 acre pond to ourselves, save for a family of loons, a juvenile bald eagle, and various other waterfowl. 

Before breaking out our kayaks, I spied a doe dining on some long grass or daisies along the roadside. I was able to get the truck turned around and get a couple pics before she had enough of me and headed to the woods. 

We started our morning paddle observing a family of loons, one parent fished nearby while the other kept a wary eye on me as I paddled to get a good photograph. I kept my distance, and "mum" kept her eye on me and her babies close. Based on what I read over on loon.org, I would say they were 4-5 weeks old. I got a couple shots, before moving north. 

Once we paddled north, we spied a large bird of prey fishing, maybe two to three thousand feet away. (He was big). We paddled north quickly, but the bald eagle decided to head south, allowing me a couple shots before he was out of sight. 

Our main quarry for the trip was moose. Needless to say, we saw none. But we did have a great time kayaking this quiet body of water. We both look forward to hitting it again. 

Limited Edition, Bald Eagle Framed Print

I am pleased to offer this bald eagle print as my first limited edition. The majestic bird, flying low, is lit by the late morning sun reflecting off the late winter snowpack, illuminating the bird's underside. The gnarled tree in the background adds to interesting imagery of the photo. 

The photo is printed on metallic paper, so the bright blue sky really pops. The talc colored matte pulls in the tail feathers, while the American traditional frame finishes the art work in an antiqued, colonial feel. 

I am really proud of this picture. I feel it's one of the finest finished pieces I have ever had. I am very proud to sign my name to this beautiful picture, and I hope you'll add it to your home.
