Yakima Canyon Eagles

Took the morning to drive up to the look out on I-90 overlooking the Ellensburg valley.  Was hoping to get some great sunrise shot of the valley and the mountains in the distance.  Unfortunately there is a storm coming in and it was cloudy and overcast.  So I didn’t even get my camera out. So …

Red Tail Hawk

On New Year’s Day morning I was out with our chocolate lab, Lucy, and saw this Red Tail hawk up in the trees where we live. So I ran and got my camera and my 300mm lens which has the 1.4x teleconverter on it, to take some photos. The sun was behind a cloud bank …
