Mirror Lake / High Peaks ~ Lake Placid, NY - in the Adironack PARK • click to embiggen
Yesterday evening the wife and I had dinner in Lake Placid on the deck at the Cottage.

I had just finished a round of golf and the wife was hanging out for a late client meeting. The weather was near perfect, the food good, and an osprey, not more than 100 yards off the deck, put on quite a diving/fishing exhibition.

"Relax" was the word of the hour.

The water highlight really makes the photo look crooked.

You are fortunate to see Ospreys like that, here in the UK we have to travel to bird reserves in the hope of actually sighting one
