Friday's Fish Finder 11-25-16

Copyright 2016 AJ Horton
Hello and happy Friday.  Tonight I thought I would show you my Friday Fish Finder. You know, when I was younger, we had fish every Friday at school.  That's right - EVERY Friday; week after week after week.  It was always fried, too.  For the longest time, I thought that was the only way to cook fish.  But now, being the adult that I am, I have learned differently.  Rarely do I eat fried fish, mostly it's baked, steamed or on the grill.  Every now and then I even enjoy sushi.  The point is, all that fish on Friday as a child did not curb my enthusiasm for seafood.  It's quite likely that I eat fish three or four times a week.  That's still not as many times as this big, but graceful, Pelican eats fish per week.  I enjoy watching him fish whenever I get lucky enough.  The way he slams into the water, though, seems a little rough and looks like it might hurt a little.  It also looks like it would scare any fish away, but, he usually comes back up with a meal.  Fish for this guy!!

I hope you had a fabulous Friday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Hello and happy Monday.  It looks like this Pelican wants to hitch a ride.  Yeah, Mr. Pelican, let's relax and ride the waves through Monday.  Oh, wouldn't that be fun?

I hope you had a fun Monday.  Thanks for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Happy Thursday

Happy Thursday to you.  It's no secret that I love the water.  So does this guy. I photographed this one while on vacation in Florida a few years ago. I enjoy the memories and feelings that this photo represents.  Some people think pelicans are big, chunky and ugly, but I think they are just the right size, graceful and beautiful.  This is a brown pelican.  Although it's a large bird, the brown pelican is the smallest of the types of pelicans.  Another fun fact about the brown pelican is that it is Louisiana's state bird.

I hope you had a beautiful Thursday.  I thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.
