Hard Landing | Phil Lanoue Photography

Hard Landing

I was briefly surprised at the salt marsh this morning when a brown pelican suddenly hit the water right in front of me.

The big bird was so close I couldn’t fit all of him in my lens. The good part was there was no extra charge for the cold shower. 🙂

  They have to pull out the occasional win! Not so for the one in today’s post though. Oops. 😀
