Up and away!
One of the great joys in life for me and my wife is walking the beach. For her, it is finding the perfect shell(s). For me it's all about the birds!
One of my favorites is the brown pelican. If I see one, chances are there will be a few (or more) clicks of the shutter involved. They are very graceful in the air, gliding along singly or in groups. Graceful is not the way I would describe a typical pelican take-off. It's more like lumbering - lots of splashing, wing flapping and I guess running to get their bulk into the air. This one started his run in front of me so I could get various poses as it was getting into the air.
Needless to say, I have LOTS of pelican shots to rummage through. They all make me smile!
