Sunday in the Art Room
White Pelicans visited our lake every Spring(much to the chagrin of the local fisherman) on their way to places further north. They stayed for several weeks then one day they would all fly off headed straight North. So was the timeing of their departure their own understanding of weather and when the lakes in the north would thaw or did it have to do with the amount of food (fish) available in our lake. I don't know the answer to that, but I do know that they were amazing guests and those of us with cameras looked forward to their arrival every year :)
So another week has past and it is hard to tell from day to day if it is winter or if we are moving toward Sping. Our temperatures have ranged from the low 30's to the mid 60's. I assume (and am hoping) that the temperatures will keep moving toward the 60's and then stay there with only upward movement from that point on. Spring can't be that far off, right?. I keep telling myself I am looking forward to Spring, but then I remember how much work goes into cleaning up after winter and preparing and planting our gardens. Oh my ... but at least we won't have to wear our coats and we will have bright colored flowers and the presences of busy bees and the sweet songs of birds. Oh yes, I am for sure looking forward to Spring :) Hope you are all doing well ...

Lovely Pelican art and photos Andrea!
Andrea!!!!! These are outstanding photos. You captured the pelicans and their nature so brilliantly. I have only seen them here a few times and they delight me. As do your photos. The one with reflection is true artistry as is your drawing. A wonderful post and I thank you for sharing with SITAR. Have a warm and lovely Sunday.
Lovely Pelican photos. They are such magnificent birds, and I see you had great fun with them in your art.
The pelicans are your Muse! Fun and whimsical art!
Boa tarde Andrea. Sou brasileiro e nunca tive a oportunidade de ver um pelicano. Só através da televisão. Parabéns pelas ilustrações. Meu Instagram Luiz_gomesrjoficial
