A fish has been spotted! The churning water at the base of the Weir creates bubbling, foamy water which leads to a whole variety of Pelican photo backgrounds.

Wish I had seen this bird out in the wild, though I have seen Great Greys in the countryside before but from a distance. Instead, I have had to make do so far with getting my closer shots at the Calgary Zoo. The aviaries there have Great Greys as well as other owls, with nothing between you and the birds. This owl was sitting in a tree inside one of the huge aviaries maybe 10 feet away from me. Quite an experience to find oneself looking into THESE eyes! Not a single slight movement was missed by these sharp eyes. This is a photo I posted when I first joined Flickr and I don't have any record of what # it reached in Explore. I do know that it was at #416 at one point. Thanks, everyone, for taking a look!

By the time I discovered that one could create these attractive Explore posters, 25 of my "chosen" images had disappeared. So, I am at last happy that I can now make one of these designs! It does look a little bare (LOL) but I thought I'd better create and upload it just in case I never get another chance!

Just for my own fun, I thought I would save this in case I never again get two photos together at the same time in Explore!
