Sunset, Semiahmoo Spit, 2-2-12. Headed to the spit in hopes of finding an eagle perched in a snag tree with the sunset in background. No luck with that so just enjoyed the sunset. Click to enlarge.

Sunrise, Semiahmoo Park, 2-3-12. This location is ½-mile south of location in previous posts. Good background information on signs. In third photo, juvenile eagle rests on branch atop tree near cannery museum. The machinery at bottom right of photo was used to gut salmon for canning. It is more widely known by its proper name, but it likely would offend some people if I used this name. If you’re really interested, PM me and I’ll tell you the rest of the story. Click to enlarge.
