Pelicans and such




As Ed and I sat cuddled on the bow this morning drinking our coffee, Ed mentioned, "wow, the bird traffic is really active today". And, it was. The Brown Pelicans, the Herring Gulls, the Laughing Gulls, and others who's names I am still learning....they were flying, squaking, and diving for their meals.
But this afternoon around 3:30 a storm blew in and I watched in amazment out my "office" window the activity of the Pelicans. I think these birds are amazing. I tried to capture some pictures of them but need daughter Emma with her camera and photographic skills to do them justice.
When the rain came and the wind picked up, here came the pelicans swarming, and diving to catch their prey. God created them to be such incredible divers for their existance but I also find them a beautiful bird.
When Ed and I set out on this chapter in our lives, we said one reason we wanted to do this was to continue our life learning. Well, with the flight of God's creatures, we are doing so. How fun.
