We landed!

And no, Toto, we're not in Kansas...or New Jersey!

Hubs and I are in Clearwater, FL for a few days - him on business and me on a mission to bag some birds. We landed several hours ago and I've already been closer to herons and egrets than I've ever been in NJ. Wow - this is like bird paradise! And pelicans! What's not to love about pelicans?

This shot is of two Brown Pelicans, taken from the balcony of our hotel in the later afternoon. Untouched in any way and probably a tad blurry on large since I was handholding at full zoom and I think my heart was palpitating. (all you blippers who reside in Florida and are used to all these birds, stop laughing!)

We are off to dine then early to bed. Travel was the usual unpleasant experience with lines everywhere and a packed flight. But, hey, it was 20 F when we left NJ and 67 F when we landed in Tampa. Can't complain.
