SEASONAL

Dallas, TX

Every Autumn, the pelicans arrive at White Rock Lake. They've been here almost a month now and I wanted to get a good shot of them. Decided that this should be my seasonal shot as this is the season they fly in. So, look for more of these thru March when they head back up north.

I'm busy catching up after getting back in town. I'm working on finishing up wedding pictures, cleaning house, mowing the yard now that it is dry, and trying to get prepared for friends to fly in on Thursday. So, I promise to catch up on everyone's work tonight and tomorrow as I can. Just very busy and yesterday I was sad so I didn't feel like really looking at anything. Anywho, I PROMISE to get back with everyone very soon...oops, gotta stick another load of wash in!

Great nature shot, nearest pelicans to us are 250 miles away in London. They're so photogenic, wish we had them round here.

The only time i saw live pelicans was in California.
They look like little floating island ;)

Not to worry about catching up, looks like you're quite tied up.:o)
Loved this, there is always a late arrival at a party.

Nice shot of the incoming flight. Haven't seen any white ones yet here.

Love to see them . We didn't have very many around here last year, perhaps this year will be better.
Guest 19-Oct-2009 01:01
Great shot, we saw a lot of them in the backwaters of the swollon Red River on the way home today, tried to get a few shot, but our lens isn't that strong.
