Pelican Pastoral

Question of the day:

Where did pelicans learn to dog paddle?

[Louise & Ken]

More Better you might ask if Dogs "Pelican Paddle"!

[M. Brutus]

@Weezilou Perhaps you make a valid point.

[Pam Knowler]

Fabulous image! I love these beautifully ugly birds!

[Caterina]

Question of the day: where do you find these incredible questions? Beautiful picture, though, enough to get a fav from me

[gloria jones]

Terrific shot

[Sharon]

Lovely image.

[Jane Pittenger]

Great question and nice feather detail

[Lou Ann]

Pelicans are so photogenic. This is a fabulous image.

[M. Brutus]

@pamknowler They are that. But I love how photogenic they are.

[M. Brutus]

@caterina Thanks for the fav. As for the question, I'm embarrassed to say I just look at the photos and they come to me.

[M. Brutus]

@seattlite @purdey Thanks so much for your kind encouragement.

[M. Brutus]

@jgpittenger Thanks That is one of the things that appealed to me about this shot. I've been working on trying to maximize the feather detail in both the white birds. Unfortunately whenever you think you have thing set perfectly for one, the other colored bird flies over and then you're either massively over or under exposed. But that is life shooting birds.

[M. Brutus]

@louannwarren I think so too (about the photogeneity.) They (pelicans) might be my favorites. Also, thanks for your kind words.

[Joy's Focus]

Love the colors and reflections. They learn that in Dog Paddle 101.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

fantastic detail - they are such awesome birds

[Diana]

Fabulous capture of this wonderul bird with it's great character. Thanks for the follow, will follow you too and hope we find out where they learned to paddle 😉

[Clare Gadsby]

[Merrelyn]

Lovely reflection.

[Milanie]

Such a wonderful clear shot and nice rich colors. Love to watch pelicans swim and see those orange paddles moving along.
