Another couple, my wife and I all took a vacation up in southern Minnesota last month. It was a bit too early for fall color, but it was the only time we had available. We stopped along a river because the hills were coloring up well. I went across the road to get a better framing and when I turned back, I saw the rest with their cellphones out snapping pictures. As I looked in the direction they were photographing, I realized there was a bald eagle over the river. I quickly went back to the car, got out my camera with the zoom lens and joined them to take a few pictures. "What are you taking a picture of?" asked the wife of the other couple. "Why, that bald eagle you had spotted," I replied. "What bald eagle!" None of them had noticed the eagle in the middle of their pictures of the river and the hills.
