I Know!
Not a bird picture, right!
But I just had to throw in this sweet pup. Look at those eyes!
His human was skimming for bait near the pier.
He spied the pelicans
as they went about their preening
and couldn't take his eyes off of them.
I think if his leash didn't tie him to the boat,
he would have jumped in after them.
Probably why his human leashes him INSIDE the boat!
So, as far as bird pictures, well, let's just say since I have been down here,
I have taken 1,345 photos.
That is as of today.
That continuous shooting mode on my camera
is nice
but then one must, SHOULD, go and delete delete delete.
I really don't like doing that exercise.
But I will ... maybe on the plane home.
I always get a bit melancholy when it's time to leave.
I miss observing innocent moments like a father teaching his children to fish...
or a baby's joy running barefoot in the sand
or just the solitude of an evening walk at sunset.
But what I will miss the most
will be
the pelicans
terns
plovers
spoonbills
sandpipers
yellowlegs
sanderlings
oystercatchers
herons
egrets
ibises
comorants
ospreys
wood storks
and the
ever present
gulls.
Yes, I will miss them all!
All the beautiful beautiful birds.
~sigh~
