Brief Pelicans

Marked and marked again...

Today I took some time off to relax after school. It feels like there's no time to stop and think or reflect anymore. Report cards, meetings, visits to the rehabilitation center, commuting, paper grading, and more…  So, it was off to our beach, for a little rest and relaxation. I put in some good think time about my mom's dramatic life "do over", and my school woes.  There was also time to worry a bit about the next clay endeavors. All in all, a very satisfying afternoon…

The beauty of Rio del Mar, is that it's never the same beach twice. Sometimes the tide is high, sometimes it's low. There are always different animals on each visit. Today was "Pelican Day". There were huge numbers of them flying and diving. Usually, they are further south, down near Moss Landing. It was a treat to see them gliding in formation above the waves.



Towards the pier...
Me and my shadow...
I'm not speaking to you...
Various prints and divots...
Towards Monterey...
Relaxing...
My new nom de plume...
The babies look like pterodactyls...
Having some "me time"...
