Spectacular! I think I want to buy the 2nd to the last photo - - the one of the 8 pelicans (?) flying over in formation!

[imasunbum]

I like the pelicans in formation too. Kurt you photography is awesome. Do you sell your work?

[Tootsie]

love the pelican head!

I really like the look and feel of Carillon Beach - it's kind of an old Florida feel with the cottages and little town, and natural vegetation with oaks, etc.

I just love the Pelican pic up top.:wub: Makes me want to grab my camera and go find some nature to shoot. WoW! The photo is really cool, but it also reminds me how interesting the actual animal is too. Surely there is a God.

Somebody will probably put soap in it.:rolling: (It took me 3 tries to catch the rolling head)

just never feed fish bones to a pelican when you clean fish even though they beg for them - it can kill the pelican

Wow....that pelican is amazing. What a wonderful picture. How close were you to him? Or do you have a massive telephoto lens? Whatever you have, the picture is one my favorites by far!!!!

Thanks! Why yes, I do have quite a large lens. :oops:

That guy was hanging out on the sidewalk at WC and was possibly injured. Fish & Wildlife had been called and there were a few people waiting with him. We stayed back about 10 feet.

Around fishing boat docks and other public docks and piers you can often get closer than that if the birds are used to people, and being fed.

I shot this one with a 105 mm lens at St. Pete Pier in 1989 and wanted to recreate it in full color.

Really? And how large is your lense? :lol: I hope little guy from WC is ok. They are my most favorite "Sea Life". Glad you were there at the right time to snap that photo. I will be saving my pennies to buy that one from you!!!!!!!
