I am unable to explain this, but I find pelicans to be one of the most graceful, elegant and amazing birds I have ever met.
Nature, in its myriads of creative ways, evolved those birds to feed in a unique way and obviously they need to eat a lot to support their big bodies...
The feeling when those birds trust you to come closer to them, is also hard to explain. Although, a telephoto lens with huge "zoom" helps too ;)
Here are some of my rendezvous with these gorgeous creatures of Mother Nature...
Check out the map pin below the post if you want to read more stories about the place itself. Kerkini lake national natural reserve, Greece. As I really love paying visits to this place that cares for Nature, some of those stories I wrote myself as well. Happy reading!

Thank you, @azircon, for showcasing to everyone and teaching me what a common sense on HIVE is.
Have a great evening!
You are welcome.
Your farming is getting extreme. So perhaps you have seen it coming.
Farming?
If what I post is farming, you have to downvote 90% of the content on the chain.
I always write my own posts, I don't use AI to generate text or images.
HIVE is the first place on the whole Internet, where I share my visuals and text to support them. If not interesting to you, it is definitely to others.
Prove this is not personal towards me, expressing an opinion few days ago, that I said is a friendly banter and no negativity or criticism whatsoever.
Too bad and sad I see that coming from you, I had an impression you can estimate and understand and see when a creator is genuine.

Please type your name and see what you get.
Then look at your post frequency, your engagement (how many people commented), and how many times you are posting very similar images over and over again. Then reflect.
Mind you, I do not have to give you any explanation. Yet I am doing it on my personal time as a courtesy.

For someone who has extracted 12X rewards than they got, and also someone who I vote rather frequently (not by choice but by design), I think a small reward adjustment is in order.
Obviously you can choose to do whatever you want with your rewards. You don't have to ask me or anyone.
Reciprocally, I can do whatever I see fit with my stake. Difference is I am explaining my action to you by choice.
This is where I leave you to reflect. I will not respond to any further answer/comment/or explanations from you.
Thank you for your witness vote!
