Skywatch Friday: Pelicans on Patrol

My daughter, her friend, and I were taking sunset photos of Surf City last night.  When we were done, we headed for the car and noticed these pelicans perched atop a pedestrian walkway through the marshlands behind the park.  They made us smile after a week of one disastrous news story after another.  Wishing you health and safety, good friends and family.

  6. Pelicans, in whatever form, are always good for a smile. Even in weeks like this one. And when we especially need one.
