One last photo of this pelican for the year. Looks like it’s getting close to finding the sweet spot. This is my submission into the three hundred-and-twenty-ninth Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Last Chance“. The host … Continue reading

Preening and Watching

I had to wait a few minutes to get this photo. I was trying to get a few of the gull preening but it stopped whilst I was pointing the camera in its direction. Eventually it resumed but it seemed … Continue reading

Wing Over the Sunrise

This was taken shortly after the flight from Sydney to Melbourne commenced. The sunrise casts its glorious light upon the sea of clouds below the plane that travels along the air currents for the completion of a journey. I think … Continue reading

Pelican Preening

Not something I get to see every day. Once more, another photo putting the form of a bird on display, but this time with another lazily floating about. I think that the outstretched wing leads to some great angularity in … Continue reading
