Photo of the Day: Loony Tunes

There are few sounds in this world that absolutely dissolve me.  One of those sounds is the cry of the loon.  It is a sound so primal and so full of depth, it stirs something deep in me.  It also makes me feel so homesick it's ridiculous.  I was fortunate enough to fall asleep to those sounds again 5 years ago when I went to Alaska with my family for a church camp.  That's also where I took this photo.  This loon was searching for food and diving down occasionally after fish.  This shot was taken just as he was about to dive again.

  1. loons remind me of our old lake cottage. We had many loons on that lake. How I miss the place. Will need to make a trip back up there one of these summers.
