but my favorite of all is the brown Pelican..
Ungainly, so outrageously put together, this clown steals my heart..
Big webbed feet,
a long sac beak which can catch fish as he skims across the water,
his crested topknot and blue eyes..
ready for a handout..
yep.. a favorite of photographers and artists everywhere.
synonymous.. beach and Pelican.. FUN!

Incredibly beautiful photos of the pelican. How beautiful it is. A dream I have is to have the opportunity to photograph something so great. These colorful birds with interesting shapes. Thanks for sharing these photos.:)

Leave it to you , my dear, to love the pelican most of all! I always tell my friends that pelicans are the nerds of the beach birds. They are something with their antics, aren't they? I do love all our birds, they are my favorite companions as I walk the shore in the early morn.
ReplyDeleteHere in Tampa, the egrets, herons, Roseate Spoonbills and more come to feed on the little fish in the retention ponds in my neighborhood. They are not as used to people as those on the beaches and fly off if I get too close. But I'm slowly winning the over.
Fun photos.

I was on Marco Island yesterday watching the pelicans dive for food. They are funny birds. I love the way they fly just inches over the water. You need a beach day girl!

Fantastic shots of that pelican! I bet you could just sit there all day and get one great picture after another, because they look like they can be quite silly!
ReplyDeleteHappy REDnesday!

Great pictures! I think you and I have a bit in common. I grew up in Florida and then moved to Colorado. I live there for about 8 years before returning to Florida to be with my family.

ReplyDeleteI always enjoy watching them. They are so ugly that they're cute. Know what I mean?
