    No C&C please (my head is full up, I know the wings are blurry and the bokeh is crazy)... I just think pelicans are truly comical.
    But you need some C & C, all these photos need are a few witty captions, none of which I can think of at this moment.

    How about "Oooooh, that tickles!" for the first one?

    Okay, no rules.

    I could use some captions, and that's a good one Frank.

    I think no C&C takes all the fun out of it for us.....

    I'll just have to look and enjoy which is far more relaxing...

    The first one should be "Wow! nice surf! I have a feeling I am not in Kansas anymore...

    More comicals. Love your pelikans. Both good. That little bit of clipped wing in #2 does not bother me.

    Do you get them in groups?

    Hi Bobo,

    Thank you. Seems I'm either too far away or too close.

    I haven't gone through all my pelican images yet, but yes I do have a few group shots but I expect they are not great because they are either shots of a bunch of pelicans on a boat, or gathered in chaos on the beach (composition problems), or rear shots of them flying out to sea or images of them flying about that are too far away... However when I get to these shots I will see if I can find any decent ones to share...

    PS Why does your signature say 1/1600? Favourite shutter speed or ?

    Couple of nice ones, Christina. The first one is comical indeed. I can see the big lug trying to get airborne. Nice techs on both of them. That wave looks awesome.

    Re: Fun with Pelicans - Freefall

    Thank you to all for your comments. I have a good stash of comical pelicans up my sleeve.

    Dan... thanks good to know... I thought the greenery behind the pelican would make for a nice background but it turned out rather psychedelic!

    Aside... I made a typo in the subject... The caption is supposed to be Free Fall because the pelican seemed to be falling through the sky about to land on me... And "Fun in the Surf" (same mind-set as Isabel) in there for the wave photo. Obviously I'm not great at captions.
