American White Pelicans

 


American White Pelicans

Hey there. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pics. I took this picture of these gorgeous pelicans swimming on the Mississippi River in Wisconsin, right at the Iowa/Wisconsin border at O'Leary's Fishing Spot. 

This is a beautiful spot where people fish, and kids play and the pelicans all swim together with Cormorants. I like to just take a small picnic for myself to just reflect on things, or sometimes bring the grandkids to just sit and watch the beauty of nature in this spot. 

If you like this picture, please visit my pelican photos collection in my Zazzle gift shop.

About Me

  Hi All! This blog is just a fun way for me to show off the things I accomplish in my life, the things I find beautiful and it gives me something to do. I have a chronic illness, and I spend most of my time in bed. Each time I go out and "do" something, it is an accomplishment   I love nature, animals, scenic views and people watching. (Not in a creepy way.) I am NOT a professional photographer, obviously, but I love to take pictures!  Many times with my art and photography I will add them into my online Zazzle Shops, so check them out!
