BPP! (Bonus Pelican Photo!)

Friday, July 30, 2010

After the Daily Daughter the Younger bought me dinner tonight (big paycheck!) we took a drive down by Giant Springs State Park.  There, sitting on the same log as all the other pelicans in recent memory, was a single pelican.  I sent the Daily Daughter out to take a snap shot.  She returned with three […]

Day 207: On the other side of the Union Station…

[…]
