Description

Pelicans hanging out, on the pilings that remain from an old pier. Lots of barnacles on the lower portions of the pilings. The strange shadow on the lower pelican is from the reflection off the water surface. Photo taken on Naples Beach, Florida in 2008. Hope all the Dads had a great Fathers Day. Zoom works for a closer look at the barnacles. Thank you for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favorites and comments. They are very much appreciated. Dana

I have a long history of loving pelicans. When we moved to New Jersey and I was nostalgic for everything Louisiana, I loved them because they were the Louisiana State Bird. Now I love them because they can be so graceful in the air and comical on the ground. Excellent capture! Beautiful color and light. I like the brown tones of the pier and pelicans against the blue water and sky.

I was in Texas recently and it was fun to observe the pelicans there, they are much bigger than I would have thought

Such a fascinating photo this is, Dana. I love to see the barnacles, and it is a must to use the zoom-mode. I thought that shadow was you ;-) The attitude-pose of the upper pelican is such great, with its wings spread, and it looks like he will fall off in his flamboyance-dance. :)
