I made this card this morning for two challenges, card sketch and Tea pot Tuesday. Our recipient for TPT is a gentleman who likes purple and nature. We were challenged to include an American Bald Eagle.
I have always lived where Eagles are plentiful throughout the summer months. They soar over my small lake searching for the the fish beneath its surface then suddenly dive to the water and soar away with their prey in one graceful, silent motion.

Beautifully created lake scene - reminds me of a misty morning sunrise viewed while having your first cup of coffee for the morning - so serene and peaceful
