I often photograph on a Flint Hills ranch near Cassoday. For the past three years, a pair of bald eagles has made their home on the ranch, where they have constructed a large nest in a sycamore tree growing beside a creek where it flows into a large watershed pond. I visited them on March 18. When I inspected this photograph back at my computer, I was pleased to see both last year's fruit and this year's blossoms (the fuzzy orange balls silhouetted against the nest). - John D Morrison
