I was out taking pictures this past spring in Florida of fishermen, fish, the pelicans and seagulls that are abundant on the pier, when all of a sudden I hear this BAAAA BAAA sound getting closer and closer very quickly. I turned and looked up and saw what I thought was a pelican coming right for me. So I grabbed my camera and snapped a shot. The creature landed on the railing just in front of me. To my amazement, it wasn't a pelican it was a Bellican. That's what the local fishermen call him. They say he likes to chew on old soda cans that people leave laying around on the pier. I hope you enjoy this one and only shot I managed to get before he took off again. I want to thank all who leave such wonderful and creatively funny comments about my fancifull creations. I get great pleasure from reading them. I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up with comments lately. I've been rather busy and just can't squeeze the time to cover everyone. I hope this weekend I can sort of catch up. I feel really bad when I miss commenting on pics of the many friends I have come to know and love here at RR. You people are the best..Thank you =)
