Beauty Amidst Tragedy

On her Facebook wall, Councilwoman KerriT posts: "Feeling heavy-hearted with the loss of a friend and overwhelmed by the holidays so early this morning I had some Zen time at the pool and then walked the Centennial Trail near Higgens Point to clear my head. As I was driving away, I noticed this magnificent eagle enjoying breakfast of Kokanee salmon in a tree near the road. Yes my friends ... another incredible North Idaho visual taken from my car with my auto focus camera. We are blessed with so much beauty to be seen, if we just take the time to look."

Question: Do you ever take time to stop and count the eagles or osprey or whitecaps in our viewtiful part of the Inland Northwest?
