Birds @ the Beach

First day at the beach we were joined by this Sandpiper who was obviously on a leave of absence from the Sandpiper Inn in Union Pier, Michigan. We tied a message to his leg sending our greetings to all of our friends on the Great Lake.


Pelicans are really amazing creatures and smart enough to perch next to the bait shop in case any fishermen get careless. Across the water is a glimpse of another house that I wish I owned, viewed from my favorite table at my favorite restaurant, while eating a seared tuna sandwich with a glass of chardonnay. The wine was nothing great, but the sandwich sure was. Had to come back the next day just to make sure. Still was.


This pelican is the best-looking mailbox on our street. Still not too far from the beach, and a flock of his friends flies over every day. Who knows? Maybe one day he'll join them.
