A Pelican Brief

As you know, we live in the Pelican State

with the Brown Pelican as our state bird.

We rarely see Pelicans this far north, but

once in a while, we get this awesome experience

and usually it is only for a brief time.

I passed by what is locally known as the

"twin bridges" and as I looked into the lake

cove, this is what I saw. Hundreds of

pelicans, white egrets and "poodle doos"

or "coots"  as some folks call them.

The day is overcast and grey so the

pictures are a little on the grey side as well.

The beauty of our state just speaks to my heart and
I know you all have places of beauty where

 you live as well.

Lots of folks fish from the bank on this

part of the lake. This pickup truck caught my eye.

I know my son-in-law would like it....

pretty cool ride to go fishin' in, I'm thinking.

I know this isn't exactly Christmasy to

most folks, but for us, this is what we

see this time of year.

This brought such joy to my day

and I hope it brightened yours a little also!

Til next time,
