8 degrees & rain - who's crazy - the pelicans or fishermen?

....or me for getting out of the car and walking over to capture this? I'm truly sick of this weather!
Thanks for all the fabulous comments on my sister's painting yesterday - you sent it to the TP & PP - a most unexpected delightful surprise :)
Who's crazy? Well the pelicans are out there anyway, you are a 365 photographer and know better than to waste opportunities for shots as good as this. That leaves the fishermen:-)

I might even consider becoming a fisherman/woman if I could have pelicans for company!

I think the fishermen need to see a psychiatrist and I admire you for stopping and taking this shot. I, probably, would have done the same. Great candid.

A wonderful capture -- the pelicans are surely waiting for their share of the catch !!

Well if they are catching fish then they aren't crazy, and if the pelicans are getting a few fish too they aren't crazy......

I think the fishermen must be mad. It is so cold up here too, but not as cold as in Victoria. We are going to get a couple of days of a top of 17 degrees I believe and then back to a cold snap again.
I actually got three loads of washing dry today so all was good.

Those pelicans are so tame! And fishermen are crazy all the time, aren't they. But then so are photographers, so I guess you're all crazy! Great shot.

the pelicans know a free lunch when they see it.

Everyone is fishing in this scene, and probably successfully to be braving the elements like this.

Great shot, composition

We are all crazy when it comes to 365, or in my case I'm just crazy. You given me a joke for the title "Fishermen stand on Pelican Crossing". Nice capture.

The pelicans are waiting for dinner, I suppose.

Love the pelicans!! They are being lazy and waiting for the easy stuff!! Too funny!
July 14th, 2015  
Rather them than me in that weather 😔
July 14th, 2015  
LOL LOL I think y'all are crazy!!! Love that the pelicans come up there and hope to get some fish from these guys or at least some of their bait!! LOL I really can't say anything about the fishermen cause I have done a lot of Ice Fishing and as for you, well that's what we do!!! FAV!

Great candid of the fishing man.
July 14th, 2015  
That doesn't look fun to me! Nice shot.
July 14th, 2015  
Think the Pelicans are waiting around to mug the fishermen should they actually catch anything....
July 14th, 2015  
I think they are all mad, at least the Pelicans are there for food

(about 30-40 F I think!) If it actually snowed while I'm there I'd be extremely happy though :)

Great shot with the pelicans. A great find.

@sangwann I think they fish so they save on specialists' bills! Beach fishing is a moving meditation me thinks :)

Brilliant candid shot! Huge congratulations on TP and PP!
July 15th, 2015  
They look really cold!
July 15th, 2015  
Well done on TP and PP! These guys are so crazy! I wonder if they catch anything.
July 15th, 2015  
The pelicans are so close to the fishermen- hoping for a free fish?
July 15th, 2015  
I will join in complaining about the weather as well...its been raining & cold since Saturday.
July 15th, 2015  
a three way draw Denise...nice frozen moment....
July 15th, 2015  
@tellefella Thanks for confirming my craziness :)
July 16th, 2015  
love the birds standing around. I'm with John graham on the draw. (but I approve of this kind of craziness from all three perspectives.)
July 16th, 2015  
@francoise Thanks for the vote of confidence (or should I say craziness!) from the fishermen, the pelicans and me :)
July 16th, 2015  
Love it...the pelicans are waiting for the "free fish" they are hoping to get? Great interaction !
July 17th, 2015  
You have to be true fishermen to fish when it is that cold! Nothing like a little help from the friendly pelicans.
July 17th, 2015  
Great candid shot. Definitely the fishermen!
