Very nice work, Alex.
A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican,
He can take in his beak
Enough food for a week
But I'm damned if I see how the helican!

My father would recite this little ditty every time he saw a photo or image of a pelican... it came racing to my memory as soon as I looked at this photo.
Thanks for sharing that with us all, it was a beautiful memory! The emotional responses of people to photographs is one of the amazing things about this folly!
I'm remembering warm summer days on a cold December night.
An Egret.

Please don't post this one again. "No rEgrets".

Thank you @keyrex
It's one shot at f/8, ISO 64 (Nikon D850) and 1/640 sec. I did process the shot in Photoshop with a curves adjustment layer and mask to bring out the highlights and punch-up the old fort in the background which was quite dim and dull compared to the boat in the foreground.

Yes, Magnolia.
Driven past it over the years and never even knew what was there.
I like being surprised like that.

Brussels, Belgium, a gallery in the Old Town.
Had some water dripping as our first snow was melting. Took this at 1/1000th sec which wasn't fast enough to completely freeze the motion, but created the effect I was looking for.
One from my trip to Paris. Couldn’t spend much time at the Louvre but it was an awesome experience nonetheless.
