Have you ever seen pelican hunt? I have, and it is majestic.

They lazily lounge on a perch of their choice observing and observing until the moment they spot a potential prey to then take flight.

Once airborne, they circle the chosen hunting ground (ocean lol) from above until that one moment. A split second that happens so fast you have to be following the pelican with your eyes like you are the hunter. They then impossibly go from horizontal to vertical midflight, and take the most precise and powerful dive beak first, into the spot where their prey swims unknown to its fate. The sound the pelican makes when it breaks the surface is loud, so loud that one may think there is no possible way that bird isn't a crushed sack of bones...but then the pelican flies out of the water victorious, and some of us stuck on the ground, can't help but feel awe at the beauty, efficiency and preciseness of nature.

In nature, we see that chaos is life. A beautifully, organized system filled with order and purpose.

I never thought pelicans were such graceful, surgical hunters. Being able to watch them with a backdrop such as this particular beach in Puerto was an amazing experience.

We spent the day exploring, watching people fish and swim, and enjoying the warm and oftentimes rough waters of the Pacific Ocean.

This particular beach has so many gorgeous places that it was very difficult putting my phone down to swim.

This is one place I'll definitely be going back to have a proper photoshoot with my Big Boy (Canon 5D Mark II).

There were people here from all walks of life. Beautiful people bronzing their bodies, athletes trying their luck with the waves, fishermen trying to feed themselves and their families, children screaming in joy as they chased one another into the water...

And me. Grateful to be alive experiencing magic with my love and our friends.

Heaven really is a place on Earth.
