AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN

Dallas, TX

Took a cruise by the lake on my way home from Dallas....now heading to Granbury to run some photocopies for an insert in the 5k/10k race packets. I'll be doing a shoot on Saturday and need to get info to the folks running on how they can order their pictures. Should be very profitable. It is being put on for a charity...Hannah's House. Hannah's House is a place where kids can spend time with their parents when they are taken out of the home because of neglect, drugs, etc.. They work with the parents and the children to try to bring the family back together. A very worthwhile charity and something I'm proud to be a part of. And, there will be more of these as I am working with the folks that put the race together. They are good Christian folks that really have their hearts in the right place. They want to help others and we were brought together by a shot I did of Lake Granbury that is posted on Pbase. Funny how God works.

Good idea to stop by the lake! Always relaxing.

Great shot! Was there just one pelican? Usually if there is, he's sick. I don't know about that thing on his beak... looks weird. BTW - Glad you are doing the race, it's good for the charity. Just about everyone wants to buy a pic of themselves running and you don't even have to worry about making them look good!!! Let me know how it goes!

This is such a beautiful shot Cindi, we don't see Pelicans around here!
I hope that all goes well with the shoot this weekend for such a worthy cause...good for you!

Great image but I never noticed a "goober" on their bill before. What is that?
