This shot was a spur of the moment ‘snap shot’. I had taken way too many photographs and another fly by wasn’t needed.
I took it anyway. It’s a ‘thing’, an uncontrolled, no thought, action. Raise camera, push back focus, zoom to length, snap shutter, repeat, repeat.
Every once in a while you get a surprise, or at least something you like.

Odd angle, off color blue shallows, big Pelican.
If you have no expectations, why not? It’s fun. It’s digital.
These kind of shots can be unexpected delights. 😊
At times there are even treasures in the background 🙂
Thank God for digital! I don’t miss the days of spending big money on 8-packs of 800 speed film and paying to have them developed, only to find that 1 shot on a 24 shot roll is decent!
My film days didn’t include wildlife, I probably would have thrown the gear away LOL.
