Toss It In Here!

I took my loaner Panasonic to the zoo today, to see what I could do with it.

This is a pelican, #28, mouth open wide for dinner (tossed fish). The protrusion on his beak is something that grows during mating season and falls off afterwards. Lucky that there is a "theme-wildlife" for this week. :). There may be more fauna in the future.

Thanks so much for visiting.

Neat shot! The inside of the beak makes it look kind of like a giant leaf.
