Very nice photo of the Brown Pelican Dave. I always enjoy seeing them on the coast. And White Pelicans as well. They always are so graceful in the air for such a large bird.
Those photos so bring back memories. I actually made a "Zine" with some of the images a while back. I probably have mentioned it before. Here are a couple of photos of the front of the Zine and one showing front and back. I had tracked down a friend I had been stationed with in Sicily and sent him one, which he seemed to enjoy.
I just had a 2 hour nap to try to catch up on some sleep lost last night. At 3 local time I will be logging into the cruise site to try to book some shore excursions. One of them will be a birding hike in Costa Rica and another will be a Whale Watch in the Sea of Cortez. They open the bookings by the class of cabin and since DW and I don't have the highest dollar cabin, some of the excursions are already full. Hopefully we will be able to get the ones we want. Then it will be watching Alabama play football the rest of the afternoon.
Edit: You posted while I was doing my post Lorell. Sounds like you are liking your new lens. That is a good start to I'm sure will be lots of nice images. The photos I posted earlier were originally B&W film and I think a color slide from over 50 years ago, hence the "grungy" look. I had to do a lot of editing to make them look nicer, especially the wine bottles. That negative was in sad shape. The hand you see if that of my buddy Jim, who I tracked down and sent a copy of the Zine mentioned above. I had kind of hoped we would keep in touch, but after my initial phone call (with a nice chat) I thought he might call back periodically, but no joy. Oh well... can't go back it seems.
