Masters of the Sea

Judy came out to San Diego this past week and we drove up to the La Jolla Cove. A storm was brewing and it was very windy so the pelicans were coming in from the ocean. These dinosaur-looking birds are amazing to watch. When they’re in flight they appear to glide effortlessly over the surface of the water and they can drive straight down at great speed to catch a fish under the surface of the ocean. However, I get a kick out of watching them land. While they’re incredibly graceful once in full flight, landings are a whole different matter—almost comical.
