I was going to shoot some diving birds and Pelicans at a local lake near Reno when this pair of Eagles decided to land in a tree about 100 feet from where i was standing:thumb I think it is a young couple:D Going back tomorrow to see if i can get a better shot and be a little more prepared.

Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
