I'm sure there are a lot of pelican shots out there, so this should be a fun motif. Here's one that's a little different. It's a brown pelican photographed about six months ago in Ft Myers. I'm not crazy about the light, but you get what you can get.

I should get a purple heart for this one because there was a snowy egret on a lamp post behind me that let a bomb go. It was a direct hit on my favorite black shirt! :o

Nikon F5, 24mm lens on Provia.

What a weird perspective. It looks like someone replaced his head with a nitro-burning top fuel eliminator dragster.

Only in Florida can you get a fame filling shot with a 24mm lens. :lol:

I love the unusual perspective. This is very cool. 8)

Another vote for a pelican humor catagory all by it's self. This guy is as funny as my guys. They seem to think they're the Marx brothers. Good shot.
