Daily Painting, Original Oil, Birds, "The Loner"

A wonderful bird is the pelican.........

Purchase here

His bill will hold more than his belly can.



He can take in his beak
Enough food for a week.........



But I'm damned if I see how the hell he can!

That is a little poem from my childhood days.  I lived in Ohio, my grandparents in Florida.  My grandmother had a postcard of a pelican that included that poem.  Florida seemed like a magical place to me then, and the poem stayed with me through the years.

Join me tomorrow for more of Pelican Week!
