Leap Year Sunset

Before you ask, let me just say that these photos were not enhanced one bit, save for resizing
so they fit on your puny screen.  No contrast adjustment, no saturation boost, nada.  What you
see is easily one of the coolest sunsets I have seen yet.  (pics by Linda)

Ornithological Stills

We took CeCe for a walk today and I brought along the Sigma 50-500 to try my not
so steady hand at some bird shots.  The birds common around the house are small
and fast and difficult to shoot, except for the mourning doves, which look like fat, little
chickens.  This is the best photo I took I think.  The colors are nice, especially after
I adjusted the contrast a little in post.
