Hey, say what you want about Kenny Chesney but he was spot on when he said “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems.” These beach get-aways mean even more when you live in the interior west. This photo was taken in the backyard of a fishing lodge in Punta Allen Mexico. I was lucky enough to capture this pelican as if flew by perfectly in between the sprigs of a palm leaf. It’s a treat when a plan comes together on film. I don’t have continuous shooting like we do on digital cameras and our smartphones. I love how the palm leaf in the foreground creates natural windows to the sunset view in the background.
 “Blues, what blues? Hey, I forgot ‘em.”
