The Path of the Pelican

Living near a wetlands reserve (in the middle of the country) sure has its advantages for this nature lover! For years these gorgeous but elusive shore birds have been circling our property and, yet, I had not been able to snap a single decent picture. Between the time that I would spot the birds and then go to find my camera, the birds would simply fly away.

But, today was destined to be different…I spotted them TWICE! The first time, I snapped a few lousy pictures with my cell phone, which happened to be with me when I first saw them. While I was attempting to post those pictures…they came back! Hundreds of pelicans gliding lazily through the sky right outside the window behind my computer.

I was ready this time…camera in action. I must have snapped 50 photos. They might not be the best, but one can definitely see that they are pelicans!

This picture is photo-shopped. I wanted to express in this photo the joy I felt while chasing down these amazing creatures.

“Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?”

Matthew 6:26
