Have you ever been to a beach and watched the Pelicans? They fly so effortlessly. Gliding more so than flying. Very little flapping of their wings;more jet than prop. This statue at the beach captures their essence beautifully. They may look stationary but they are headed right for SKYWATCH FRIDAY.

SKYWATCH FRIDAY-EFFORTLESS FLIGHT
Have you ever been to a beach and watched the Pelicans? They fly so effortlessly. Gliding more so than flying. Very little flapping of their wings;more jet than prop. This statue at the beach captures their essence beautifully. They may look stationary but they are headed right for SKYWATCH FRIDAY.

Watch out for the pelicans skywatchers. Better have on sunglasses. Here is to our being virtual (Skywatch) neighbors this week. And here is to you. Your positive posts are found everywhere in the daily photo community!
ReplyDeletePretty cool. Looks like you took the picture on windy day.
ReplyDeleteOn a totally different note. Regarding your commment on my Dallas blog. Sometimes when I walked around downtown Dallas it was like a ghost town no cars or people for long stretches of time. Very strange.
Love the picture! Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful subject for framing up your Sky Watch Friday shot. You live in a very photographic area or at least you find the best of it to share with us all.
ReplyDeleteCool photo of the Iguana, I used to have them at my last house and they would give me quiet a fright if not expecting them to wander across my patio but they were really very tame and just looking for a handout.
superb composition!
ReplyDeleteVery good shot, we have no pelicans (for now) but the statue really gives the idea of gliding.
ReplyDeleteA flight in the air forever without any rest :P
ReplyDeleteI can truly say that I have never seen a pelican in flight but the statue does all you say. Looks like the higher one is gliding on the thermals in all that wind!

I love the pelican--a prehistoric beauty. They do make it look easy. I especially like when they disappear close to a wave and then emerge.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo.
What is skywatching without birds???
ReplyDeleteThey make it completely in an elegent way.
Great SWF!!!
They are gorgeous birds to watch in flight and, like gulls, are so delightfully clean. How is the one on top attached to the other?
ReplyDeleteA statue of pelicans! I had never seen one! Wonderful composition here, great skywatch shot!

ReplyDeleteMy mother use to call them 'bomers' because pelicans fly in a v formation >

I love to watch pelicans at the pier. They have so much grace for such large birds. Awesome!

Yes, I agree, pelicans are beautiful, their shape is just great. And one can't really tell if they are real or part of the statue.
ReplyDeletePelicans are such large creatures but they do fly and glide smoothly. i really like watching Pelicans. i am glad you are enjoying my nightscape photos. thanks for your comments. I have a saguaro at night painted with light on long exposure up today and will have moon photos up for the next three days.
ReplyDeleteLovely statue!! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI've never had the pleasure of seeing Pelicans in real life, but the statue is a good substitute.
