    Title or Location: Conowingo Dam in Maryland
    I took this photo in late April at Conowingo Dam. It was a slow day for photographing eagles. Lots of fly-overs, but little fishing. Then I saw the eagle heading towards the big rock, with a fish in his talons. He was preparing to land on the rock, but quickly changed direction when he saw the Great Blue Heron lurking behind the rock. I captured this image just as the eagle spotted the heron and diverted to a safer location.

    I waked at 4:30 am and drove half hour to the D.C in that Thursday morning. Cause I know it would be a lot of people rush to the Tidal Basin during the cherry blooms' season. Luckily, there was none when I arrived. I walked around the basin, and found the place where I took this photo. Great sun rise, and cherry just began to reach the peak. All I needed to do is just push the shutter button. Another amazing spring just arrived D.C.

    Washington Monument at sunset. My son-in-law produces concerts at the Library of Congress. I bring him in early and in the meantime, I have time to walk around the capitol grounds. The clouds and color made this shot interesting, and the look varies as the sun goes down. Finishing the evening with a great concert at the Library of Congress is a great cap to a rewarding photo shoot.

    This shot was taken along with 3000 others images on my first ever photo shoot during Covid. I hired a model I had seen and had come to do pool shots with another Photographer and he suggested I hire her and conceptualize the shoot. I?m not a professional and had no props but I bought some fabric and I used my leaf blower to make that effect. I periodically go back to those pictures and rework them with my iPhone apps for varying effects. You can see more of my work on Instagram. That day creat

    Thank you for considering my photo for Photo of the Week! I have a number of bottle brush trees in my back yard, and birds love the blossoms when they bloom in the Spring. I usually see numerous hummingbirds and sparrows, but I saw this gorgeous bird one afternoon resting in the branches. I was able to get a couple of shots off before it flew away.
