William (Bill) Armstrong's photos with the keyword: takeoff

A grab shot when I became aware that the pelican was taking off. The splashes on the water illustrate the power required for takeoff.

I can't remember if the bee was taking off from the flower, or landing. I'm happy to capture the action.

I enjoyed watching this fellow as the light of the setting sun reflected off his beak. Then he decided to take off. Thank you, pelican. Do not use this image on blogs, websites or other media without permission. © 2015 William Armstrong. All rights reserved.
