Weather: Mild, in a shaded area
As my group of choir students and I were growing in our teamwork together I happened to look up to see a giant shape soaring above us. With wings that looked almost as long as I am tall, it moved through the air almost effortlessly. I was so enamored by the sight I nearly forgot what I was doing and loosened my grip on the belay cord as one of my choir buddies climbed the twenty-five foot pole. The creature was so majestic in how it flew. I was entranced, almost awestruck by it's beauty. I've never actually seen a bald eagle so close in the trees near me. It simply sat and I instantly knew how such an animal could be the symbol of a nation.
