I finally got time last night to edit the last of the Florida photos. Before we left Florida, Tracy, his mom, and I drove to the Everglades and took a guided boat tour. Our guide was fantastic, and I’ll be back later with more photos from our trip. This will be the last colorful ZIZO for awhile as it’s pretty much brown and gray here, although today was sunny with a wonderful blue sky. Winters in Rochester certainly make you appreciate the blue skies and warm weather when you get them.
Last year, we saw a squadron of white pelicans at a wildlife preserve. I got a nice group shot, but I was too far away to get a close up. Being on the boat changed that. This group was much larger, and although it’s hard to tell from the photos, the white pelican is one of the larger aquatic birds. They can stand as much as 70″ tall and weight up to 30 pounds. They are very impressive to see.
Although Helena’s meme is Zoom In, Zoom Out I always seem to put the Zoom Out first.
Oh, what a splendid bunch they are! I am intrigued they’ve all gathered together in such a tight spot. I guess you could call it ZOZI :).
Absolutely stunning shots Karen, which ever way ’round you do them!
fabulous!
wow they are big and what a lovely big group to see. I’ve had 2 out then in too and like how I’m thinking both ways when looking for a subject
It’s nice to see the bigger picture first 🙂 And, as Miriam says, it doesn’t matter which way you do them, they are bound to look good
I am tending to take the wide shot first so I suppose when it comes to presenting them I am automatically presenting them that way too.
On holidays a couple of years ago we came across pelicans in a similar grouping, it was strange to seem them all together, like a big huddle. I love how white the white feathers are on sea birds – so crisp.
Absolutely amazing!!! Love the contrasts.
What a perfect pair! And I really like the title block you have created. I think that I have generally gone for zoom in first myself.

Gorgeous ZIZO pair! Love the zoomed-in shot, with the one little bird in front.
