Pelican

It's actually scary when one of these big things is flying straight at you! Just pressed the button in my hit and miss method of photography and holy hell, it ended up in focus and even in the frame. Score on 2 counts! I spent a large part of today roaming around taking photos by myself. It was awesome! The men of the household went 4 wheel driving so I headed out too for a spot of me time. Even came across a country craft market which I, of course, had to stop at. I got sunburnt and had a thoroughly good day. Off to work tomorrow.
Really hope you lovely people of 365 have had a terrific weekend, feel relaxed and are ready for the coming week. Cheers and thanks for stopping by.

Greta photo Terri. Love the explanation. It's as I remember my mother when she was still driving, and entering the freeway...close your eyes and floor it.

Terrie I am your get-pushed partner for this week. Looking at your body of work I am in awe. I feel so amateurish compared to you. I just did a low-key challenge so I think I will pass this along to you. I bet you will do a fabulous job with it.

Thanks Joan for your lovely comments. Believe it or not, I have never done a deliberate low-key shot. Sometimes they happen because I haven't got the settings right on my camera….LOL. I will look at the internet for some advice on deliberately achieving this result :-) and get back to you later in the week. Thanks for the push.
