 My Pelican is so special to me, and every time I see him, he leaves a warm glow in my heart. I have called this one Mr. Pelican, as I admire him, and he looks so regal when swimming in the 'Pumastone Passage'..... shez

ps; I hope you all realize this is still my friend Percy, and only called him Mr. Pelican, as he looked so regal.....

Enjoy.....

I'm sure Percy would agree that this does indeed make him look most regal and elegant. He really is a gorgeous bird (and I love pelicans) and I quite like that you share him with us! Hope you get to feeling a bit better soon!

I thought that was Percy!! Regal is a perfect way of describing his pose here.

Percy is definitely a nice looking pelican, I'm glad he comes to greet you when you visit! I really like the detail in his wing feathers.

another great capture Percy's mom would be thrilled to hang, if only she had a wall :)

I love that you have bonded with this little guy, there is something so very therapeutic which occurs when animals of the wild interact with us

Mr. Pelican is one handsome devil! Nice texture in the water, too.

I particularly like the colors of his bill. I suspect you have improved upon that a bit. You are so good with colors.

I gotta tell you, I have become a big fan of Percy. He is a very photogenic bird and you do a fantastic job of capturing him.
