Starved Rock State Park
Invited my Mom for an outing, hoping to see the hundreds of bald eagles witnessed other years. This was not the year, but likely four eagles were spotted fishing near the dam. It was absolutely beautiful weather for hiking, still, sunny and relaxed. There were many there with their super nova cameras. Unfortunately my film was old and pictures grainy and dark. I chose a few to share that still evoke the beauty we shared with so many other visitors to the park. Before I ask Mom to come next February I will need to purchase some walking sticks as we were out on iced stairs and paths, sometimes without a railing to catch onto. Gorgeous day, lovely art date.

I've always loved Starved Rock. And I hadn't realized the eagles were back...I just may need to take a ride out. And I like the pictures...they seem mysterious.

The eagles aren't back this year Elena. We saw about four.
This looks like a beautiful and mysterious place. Thanks for sharing your photos.
great photos
Love seeing your photos - I haven't been there in years. Julie and Rob drove out there two or three weeks ago,hoping to see the eagles. Saw about 4 or 5 too, but too far away for pix.
We went last October for fall colours. The park was loaded with photographers while I was taking snapshots.
I've only been there once in the winter.. went to shoot the frozen waterfalls. Way cool.
