Sunday Selections ... Pelicans

So here we are just like she promised ... the Pelicans

Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim or Frogspondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files.

The meme is now continued by River at Drifting through Life. The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent. Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to River.

This week I bring you the Pelicans of Monkey Mia Resort in Denham (Shark Bay) Western Australia.  I was on a work trip and part of the daily routine at Monkey Mia is dolphin feeding. The local pelicans have cottoned on and were harassing the dolphins, so to avoid that happening they now get feed up the beach at the same time. Now I am not happy with either species being feed as they are wild animals, but I have to admit the antics of the pelicans I love.

Thanks for popping by, and next Sunday ... well maybe more pelicans if I can find my old 'non-digital' photos and scan them. After all, you can't have too many pelicans, can you??

Last Sunday I started with the theme of Animals and today I'm continuing with birds. Many and varied I am sure you will agree.

If you look closely you will see there are now two white faced herons in our tree.

Over the next couple of weeks I thought I would share some of the animal shots I have taken. Some I think I have shared before, so excuse me if you've been a reader long enough to remember them.

Insects

I have no idea what this was, but I captured it on film in the Dandenongs in Victoria while waiting for the family who were on the Puffing Billy.

Reptiles

Running a little late today, but better late than never, I believe the saying goes.

So without further ado, I present the moon.

The Blood Moon photos taken earlier this month are my hubby's (a little blurry but given it was a cloudy night he had to click when he could. 

The other full moon photos below those are mine from earlier this year.  

Love a full moon.
