"A wonderful bird is a pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican.
He can take in his beak
Food enough for a week;
But I'm damned if I see how the helican."
- Dixon Lanier Merritt -
I've been dry for months, working too hard. Today it was past time, and I took my granddaughter with me to go surfing.
The waves were somewhat large and rough, so we mostly played around inshore and cooled off. Good exercise, good fun.
I've written about it before, and today found this remarkable article about the technical skill that surfing requires of them. Amazing!
While watching the sunset, I captured this series of photos of pelicans surfing.
The pelicans are catching a wave at about the vertical middle of the images. They enter from the left and exit to the right.
all I had at hand was my smartphone camera, and so the resolution is marginal...
If you click on each image, you will open a full-sized version thereof, and looking closely, you should be able to spot the birds.
The pelicans are almost between the surfers and the sunset.
Go down to the Pacific shore one day and watch them.
If you find this at all intriguing, watch the video...
I am impressed by the glory of their Creator, Jesus/God, who designed them and programmed them to be able to enjoy the waves for sport even as I do.

Thanks for your time and attention.
You are why I'm here on Steemit!
I have very eclectic interests and hope, over time, to write about them all.
