Unexpected Surprise...

I went to the tide pools today

only to be disappointed

~

they were completely submerged

~

I was bummed 

as I have become quite attached to the

little sea creatures down there

so...

I drove along the coast road and came across this guy

I'm callin him Jimmy Durante

do you remember him

BIG NOSE 

and quite the personality

Well this Jimmy has one too

He was a real ham

doin all sorts of funny stuff for the camera

He even posed so I could get 'catch light' in his eyes

this guys knows what to do for the camera

~

We must have spent thirty minutes together

Jimmy and I

I was so close I could have touch him if I wanted

~

 I wouldn't of course

~

but it made me wonder 

whats made him so fearless of humans

ya just never know what the real story is

~

not that I need to

I'm just sayin

Have you ever had a bird

give you 'that look'

you know the one I'm talkin about

Its the same look we give our mates or children 

when we've just about had it with their stupid antics

~

He had been so gracious and all

I should have just
thanked him and moved on
but 

I wanted to know how long he would just be sittin there
because it's not every day you can just hang with a pelican
~

then along came a single pelican

flyin low to the water

and it was as if he had been waiting for her

because when he saw her

he gave one last look 

and launched off to join her
