i have added two new blogs, just pictures, PORTRAITS and PASSION GREEN, you'll find the links on the side bar.
i was sitting on these pelicans for a long time. i thought i had already posted them and was searching for a post on the pelicans, did not find any. So here we are. i am not going to write about pelicans because i do not know anything about them.
The only thing i know about them is that they fly.
i sit and watch them for hours, funny chapees they are.

This is sunita, she talks to me like she is my grand mother. She says these birds normally come in huge numbers now they are comming in small groups, they seem to be confused. You know the reason. Their timing has completely gone haywire. they hatch and they can't wait for the chicks to learn to fly. It gets too hot for them, so many chicks die.

You are responsible for getting me in trouble with my boss, making me laugh out loud at work, shame on you!
This one is classic. That boink! when the chapee fell after reaching too high, that was perfect representation for rauf's perspective on enlightenment. :)
These photos are just too funny, and the scenario at the airport is brilliant (and pretty gross!). What's happening to you over there in Chennai? Too much heat and humidity? I think you need to get into an air conditioned room. You need AC like your computer does. I'm starting to worry about you. Good thing you're going away soon, need some fresh air, creating stories for Don's 3rd graders (they love toilet humor).
Thanks for the afternoon smiles.
you DID post something on pelicans.. in ur photo blog. I remember reading it along time ago, when we first met.
though of course, not like this. more than pelicans has inspired this, i see.. (i know). heh. what what? come come you can tell us.
VERY inspired with anger and sarcasm infact.. :)
thanks for making everyone laugh. :)), as usual.
Hi!
Long time no write! How are you? I love the pics. The girl is beautiful. Stopping by to say hi!
thank you for the tip on migraine will give it a try.
that was funny your sense of humour is just great
A pelican convetion!
I loooooooooove pelicans - you know... I Spend an entire afternoon laying around at the Zihuatanejo Bay beach (Ixtapa, Mexico) watching them dive from great hights for fish - they have fabulous eye sight - for one thing... they are "handsome" in their own charming way, aren't they?
Love and hugs
It was a little ironic to me, because the pelican with pop-eyes looked really goofy to me and was the last one I'd expect to be enlightened! It's inspiring to read your stories- I think I'll start a little creative writing of my own. It looks fun!
Just beautiful Rauf and the smiles of that young girl is the best.
just p-r-e-t-t-y! the pics are so crisps...and look so fresh! so alive...hehehe...sunita's smile is precious! ;;)
Thank you Ruth,
Honestly, these creature seem to be a lot happier than us humans. What ever problems they are facing now, are caused by us. With all the absurd philosophies on your hands and with all the intelligence and wisdom, where are we ? Just type pelicans in google, type amoeba, you have so much information on them but yet we refuse to learn from the animals.
Once the local Vicar told FOUR DINNERS when he was a child that animals don't have souls so they can't go to heaven, he lost interest in religion. i would have done the same. Behaviour of these animals is predictable. Don't go near a crocodile and you know what it will do, so you stay away. Only us humans are unpredicable. We are capable of doing anything. Recetly i read in a blog that a lady smiled at some one and he raped her on the deserted road in Tronto. it was a shocking account. Thanks goodness for a majority of humans choosing to lead a peaceful life. love kindness and compassion is on the rise.
You know whats going on here...If one opens ur blog in Mozilla (my preferred browser) one can not see new posts as ur blog seems to have moved down.....and thats why i missed all the last few posts!!!! loved ur bicycle post and yes Bicycle thieves is an awesome movie..one of the best i have ever seen...:)
Mystic Rose i think i posted pelicans on a test blog.
We had hundreds, thousands of prophets sages in history, each came up with some philosophy with good intentions. Has it helped ?
We even have people who call themselves gods. i don't find anything wrong with them. i can call myself god, no one can stop me from calling myself a god. but if some one falls at my feet and seeks my blessings, something is seriously wrong with him and not with me. We still have such clowns.
Look at these pelicans, they have the will to survive. Only we humans have imposed absurd philosophies on ourselves. Can any one tell me where higher level of consciousness takes us ? And those who have claim to have achieved it, where are they, have they changed the world ? What good is this higher level of consciousness to the rest of the world ?
Lisa Francisco Also Known As AVIANA Thank you Lees, me fine.
HER INDOORS, hope you are feeling fine and enjoying your holiday.
Our philosophies are as absurd and as useless to these pelicans as they are to us. Imagine me giving a discourse to a couple of crocodiles about the virtues of vegetarianism. The response from the crocodile would be
'He is mine'
The other crocodile says ok you take him, he is just bones, looks so poor and skinny, i would rather have a presperous Guruji
Sir, would you kindly continue your discourse in my stomach ? I am in a hurry I promise i would listen to you, i have to digest your philosophy first.
I did not enjoy him, not tasty, what was he saying ?
I told you, prosperous Gurujis are lot more tastier, he was saying
eat vegetables, and he said don't eat life, not good for our soul
eh ?? Not very clear my friend, lets wait for another Guruji and digest his philosophy and we'll think about it.
Dearest Angel, oh yes they are indeed very handsome, very graceful too. As Rachel says they look goofy. I keep the camera aside and watch them, All quiet, they all seem to meditate, no one moves. Suddenly one chap flaps his wings vigourously and i pick up the camera waiting for him to take off. No, he is back to his meditation. Here in Kokkra Bellur (Kokkra is bird in Kannada language, Bellur is the name of the village) they have to go to a nearby lake to get fish. They circle around the tree like a plane before landing. sometimes they take off and go for one big chakkar and come back, just for the fun of it.
Rachel, they look goofy, but believe me they all look enlightened. they sit in meditation without moving a feather. i would love to know what they are thinking. Sometimes the tree looks like a noisy and unruly classroom, with every body talking.
Priya, thank you
SHIMMER, Sunita has terrific knowledge of these migratory birds. She gave me a lecture on them in Kannada language. Though she is not aware of global warming, she said something is seriously going wrong.
MOI i use internet explorer, looks ok here. i have been tinkering with the template, blindly, with out any knowledge of HTML. Thank goodness they have given an option called 'CLEAR EDITS' for dimwits like me. don't know how it looks on Netscape and on apple mac. Recived a similar complaint from Mala too. Don't know what to do about it.
the birds look cool...i think we should be happy.....that no terrorist group has bothered to get them...
i don't understand Vishesh, why should they ?
Gave me good giggle did that. Ta mate. Fantastic pics 'n all. Shame some chicks die. Nowt can be done to help 'em?
What an interesting blog. I'll be back to go through more. Great pics..sandy
It must be great to be able to watch and photograph creatures like this up close.
Pelicans look so prehistoric.
Great photos!
hahaha FOUR DINNERS they are funny chaps. They look like they would come up with another theory which would make a mockery of relativity. i am sure they communicate.
Sandy welcome to Daylight again, there are lots of birds, here in this blog, spoon bill, open bill storks, painted storks, river tern, rock plover, and others, there are some in Blunt knife blog too.

you can find the link on the side bar too It will be a happy get together of Bird lovers like Angeldust, Suresh-Wildpic
Welcome to Daylight again Sharon
by terrorist i meant the humans withthe guns ie the poachers
Vishesh, they are well protected, i can tell you only about south India. Going anywhere near them is illegal. i could be arrested. They are very strict about it. But the wild life authorities always allow people who are really interested in the welfare of these birds. Feburuary is the best time for Pelicans.
