Fluidr / Evening cruise by Bill Bowman

An American White Pelican cruises across Coot Lake as the sky begins to take on the warm color of the setting sun. I was in full landscape/ water reflection/ sunset mode when she/he decided to swim past me- a frantic change of the lenses and adjustment of the settings to "bird on water mode" worked out OK, though I didn't center this as well as I would have liked.

Happy World Biodiversity Day! (thank you James Page )
