Golden Hour at Nisqually Refuge. by jankoos

Golden Hour at Nisqually Refuge.

Not sure if you can see enlarged, but if you look at the fir tree in the middle. Top right branch, there are two eagles. I will put a pic in my Flora and Fauna album. I used both my cameras to try and capture but there were a lot of people on the boardwalk causing my tripod to bounce. I waited hoping for some quiet time but the eagles flew off. Here are the eagles up close but not terribly clear: http://365project.org/jankoos/flora-and-fauna/2013-12-29 or this one where their heads together form a heart: http://365project.org/jankoos/flora-and-fauna/2013-12-30
I saturated the color here and used 'lomo' processing in picasa. Perhaps my 2014 goal will be to get and learn PS lightroom or elements. Thanks for looking.
On a personal note, today was my hubby's birthday. We have eaten out so much over the holidays he wanted a quiet meal at home. I cooked some king salmon with garlic mashed potatoes and carrots and baked a banana cake. All yummy.
Happy birthday to your husband! We had a birthday dinner for my nephew, just boboli pizzas, salad and a chocolate raspberry ganache cake.
Best viewed large! I love the processing! That's my goal for 2014, to learn Lightroom. Well, one of my goals!
