When Corky and I walked in the big park (Tri-Cities) there were two white pelicans who have come back to spend the winter with us. I have seen them here in previous years, but there is always a larger flock at Anaheim Lakes which is a much larger body of water - about 2-1/2 miles SE. By-the-way, the gold squiggles are reflections from the setting sun - the white at the top of the image are geese and ducks.
The first Oxalis blossom of the season, soon my back slope will be awash with this limey yellow. I am posting three photos of the same plant. The reason there are three is none of them is completely in focus, but the background is. How does one take a picture with the foreground in focus?
I held the blossom thinking maybe a midpoint to focus on would help.

If you're using a digital camera, there is a setting for "close-up", which is usually less than 5 or 6". The symbol may be a flower (tulip). (It was the same on both my Canon and Fuji.) You push the flower setting, and take the picture. Don't forget to push it again to turn it off - it will make your usual photos blurry...
I'm not an expert, by any means, but this works for me, for photos taken very close...Good luck!!
Great shot of the pelicans. They are such interesting birds. We used to see them down on Klamath Lake in So. Oregon. I love watching them fish.
