This Pelican photo was taken on a very grey, stormy day on Santa Rosa Island near Pensacola Beach, Florida. He was nervous and watching me so I was lucky to get this close.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Nice, really nice. I keep trying for a Pelican, but everytime I see one it seems like it's a 100-yards offshore. One of these days I hope to run across one sitting on a post.

    Thanks, Brooks. Just hang around marinas or on a dock where someone is fishing.
