American White Pelicans look elegant in flight, but take-offs and landings can be a messy sight. They are heavy-bodied and require a running start, and landings often involve a big splash.
They are a reliable constant at J.N."Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge, so that's usually our first stop when visiting Florida.
“Sometimes that
which we fear
strengthens our
spirit and gives
us a splash
of hope.”

Happy Monochrome Thursday ;- 00
I know a silly old fool who fell/rolled straight in this stream flat on his back full body length, today. I've promised to keep his identity secret.
He was taking a photograph,, lost his balance, toppled over, rolled down the steep little bank and straight in on his back and side. Like a seal in a rockpool with a camera. Apparently, there was nothing this chap could do to save himself as he was too busy saving the camera. This chap's wife who witnessed the sad event is still laughing. Still. There is no photographic record of the event because the half-wit fish didn't take a selfy.
The stream is at the bottom of our garden and the above plants are Teasel bowed down with the weight of rain they took in March, pointing at the stream like some bizarre - and if you don't mind me saying, rather sick, premonition......
I took this one last month at Ambleside Beach in a big windstorm. Lions Gate Bridge is in the background, which joins Vancouver to North and West Vancouver. And yes, I did get sprayed :)
