Some photos make my teeth hurt: They’re so close to being what I wanted but aren’t quite there.
On a last-time-this-season visit to Huntington Beach State Park, I had early morning light, smooth reflective water, two obliging brown pelicans . . . and reflexes not quite fast enough to get a sharp focus. And of course it’s not like missing a shot of a bridge, which will be in the same spot, doing the same thing, tomorrow.
Maybe it’s like golf. The near misses keep you coming back, almost as much as the good shots.
Well, if it’s like golf, you got at least a birdie on the last shot.

Tom – 🙂
Beautiful but if you are not pleased, perhaps a ” Mulligan” is in Order. :-))
Sid – If only a mulligan were possible in nature photography. I love what I did get, but would have liked them better if they were sharper.
Awesome pictures!!
I note the band in the birds leg, are many of them banded?

Kate – Thanks! I don’t really know how many are banded. So often they’re sitting atop the evidence, or too far away. But seeing bands is not rare down here, for sure.
