Nature Is Not Always Pretty

June 22nd, 2008 categories: 3 Legged Horses

A friend from Northern Idaho sent me these pictures and I thought they were worth repeating.

I marvel at the way nature takes care of itself. And even though humans suffer by acts of nature, it is sometimes the results of us not taking care of our earth and sometimes just the natural process that makes our world what it is. Unavoidable facts of life.

That’s kind of how I feel about the real estate world right now. We made it what it is and this is just a cycle that will balance out eventually.

These photos were taken recently by Tom Carver. He lives on Lakelse Lake just outside of Terrace, B.C. Owner of The Water Lily Bay Resort, he also feeds the swans on the lake all the time!

Eagles are very common in this area too. These are amazing photos!

Enjoy!

So here is the swan photo.



What a beautiful bird, so graceful and majestic.

Here comes the Eagle!!!



You can see the feathers flying here from the swan.



This one is so amazing to see the actual eagle wing span beside the swan.

The poor swan must be scared to death .

It is attempting to actually escape death in the air!

The eagle is loosing his grip on the swan in this picture.





Now the eagle has just lost his grip on the swan completely.




At this point the swan starts falling straight down.

  The swan falls into the water below, swims away and the eagle

   just looks on at his ‘lost’ prey. I am amazed at these pictures

   because I have NEVER seen an eagle attack or tackle something

   so big in mid-air before.
