    Whoooop!!.....Whoooop!!....COLLISION ALERT...Evasive maneuvers!

    Thought this was kinda funny. One Pelican jumped up into the flight path of the other one. Was a funny collision. I shot this during the spring, and happened across it as I'm catching up on a ton of PP work (I've taken over 300,000 images in the past year....PART TIME!). It's not good enough for sale, but definitely has some entertainment value.

    Disclaimer - No Pelicans were injured in the filming of this image ....Just a bruised ego or two!

    Canon_Bob, I like it. Not very often you run into this sort of encounter. I would definitely frame it if it was mine and who knows, you might be able to sell it if you had a theme or funny title for it.

    Cheers,

    Very funny!

    Your example here is an excellent statement of all the truly amazing and interesting and educational spectacles that can be seen if one just spends time observing.
