Lately most everything published has been around the marshes. This happens every year. Spring/Summer is the swamps, Fall/Winter are the marshes. And since we do live on the coast, shore and ocean is scattered all around.

I  felt we needed some ocean photographs and in the ‘to do’ there is always a Pelican or two.

First is a shot taken on the shore of a small barrier island. The big marshes we photograph are not all that far from here. The rivers in the ACE Basin all empty into the Atlantic right near these small islands.

Besides the Brown Pelicans there are two Laughing Gulls. I think they are the most common Gull we have.

Below a single Pelican flying low over the water. The Pelicans take advantage of the thermals over the waters surface and use them to glide for long distances.
