I brake for eagles

When traveling by car, I like to stop and take photos of horses that I see along the way. 

Unfortunately, sometimes this isn't possible. Teresa and I were eager to get to Grand Junction, so there was no braking for horses on the way to the Willow Tree Live.

Coming home was a different story. We left early and had the entire day to make a four hour drive. 

Not surprisingly, there was a lot of stopping...

and some of those stops involved horses. 

This stable was exceptionally brake-worthy. I absolutely love the red buildings, white fences and amazing views.

As pretty as this is, however, it wasn't my favorite stop of the day.

That happened earlier. Teresa and I were driving along at 75 mph, when suddenly, she hit the breaks and pulled over onto the shoulder of the road. 

"There's a bald eagle in that tree," she said. "Do you want to get a picture of it?"

 Of course I did...

but how in the world did she see that? Talk about eagle eyes!

Thanks for driving me to and from Grand Junction, Teresa. I had a great time riding, and stopping, with you!
