Day 299 2015: Anything a swan can do...

Day 299: ... a pelican (or three) will try to do better

So finally, three weeks later, medical appointments proceeded as expected. Pretty grim in itself but the upside is that it is close to the bay...and the bay means water...

...and the water means birds. And it's not the university lake (more of that later this week no doubt). 

After the two hour procedure, it is important to rest and recuperate and what better way to do so than by watching the birds. Pelicans in particular. By the Wynnum Jetty. 


So it started with what I like to think of as a Sea Eagle but is
technically a Brahminy Kite

And then the pelicans showed their stuff

Walk this way...
(yes, I think there is some fishing line stuck there)

Someone to watch over me...him...her...

Ah, bay scene

Jetty wall

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no...oh, too late

Branch

Taking flight

Under the watchful eyes



Today's pelicans (and others) helped put all of life's worries in perspective. Soothed the soul.
