Really That Close

I wasn't 10 yards away sitting in the grass watching the three pelicans again. Don't imagine they'll stay there much longer. But it was fun to get a close-up without zooming forever.

Great capture! I am glad to hear that it is warm enough for you to sit in the grass. We can't see our grass because of all the snow!
