On the Hunt

While this doesn't show details of the pelicans (that I became obsessed with photographing), I liked how its silhouette stood out against the mountainous background of Santa Cruz Island. This was from a few days ago when I couldn't post, so filling in some missing days.

Fabulous. I was obsessed with them when we were at Myrtle Beach. They were everywhere.

Great shot! I loved the pelicans in Florida and the white pelicans that visit Baton Rouge every winter.

The silhouette is so easily recognized and nice to see in its environment. Makes me remember being obsessed with shooting pelicans in Yachats with you and Kris and Junko
