[Leica] The Best Eagle Blind in the World

[cummer at netvigator.com (H&E Cummer)]

Hi Luggers,
I have been a bit quiet - doing floor renovations - but took time out to go 
to the Port Browning pub for lunch on Sunday with the SPILs (Spouses of the 
Pender Island Literary Society). We are the husbands of Literary Ladies who 
meet to discuss their book of the month at one of their homes and so we 
husbands go to the pub to join the husband who can't stay at home when the 
ladies are there.
The Port Browning pub has several tall fir trees in front of the inlet and 
eagles perch on the top of the trees watching for fish and surveying their 
territory. So you can sip a beer, have a conversation and take pictures of 
eagles all at the same time.

Here's two eagles in conversation:

and here's two fellows in the pub deep in conversation over a beer - a two 
panel pano:

And finally here is a close up of Dave - who was born on Pender Island and 
knows the histories of most of the
original families on the island:
