After making it through an emotionally draining morning and afternoon yesterday, I decided to go hiking at a local nature preserve to clear my mind. I got out there just before sunset and made my way to a spot where I could see the bald eagles’ nest that is just beyond the boundary of the preserve. I’ve spent a great deal of time out there since I learned of the nest a month or so ago. Last night was special, though, because I had a chance to not only see one of the eagles swoop down from the nest to catch a fish from one of the ponds for dinner, but also the chance to catch it on camera. It was a great way to end an otherwise bad day.

And then the sun set.
So, I’ve just finished reading Riva Greenberg’s new book,
