Pelicans looking for a place to rest for the night as the sun sets

[VanGone]

These Pelicans looked pretty tired as they flew over me at a favorite place of mine to watch the sun set.

Thanks Fossis. It is a very peaceful place .Ive shot a lot of pictures from this pretty place.Theres a lot of things to see in this world we live in,but lots of us don't take or have the time to really look and enjoy whats out there.You have experienced it in your life Fossis, so you know where I'm coming from.

Beautiful shot, Van! It made me think of that poem:

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,

And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

Sunwards I’ve climbed and joined the tumbling mirth

Of sun-split clouds – and done a thousand things

Now that's a nice one. You should work that up into a painting.

Thanks RGINN, it was a pretty sun set. I haven't been painting much because of eye problems,but have it corrected now and have finally started a new painting. Its been about 5 years since I finished one.Are you still painting?

I'm not painting anything, vg. My last job killed any creative spark I might have had, but I walked off from it some time back and got a better job now. And I got a lot of ideas, so maybe I will start up again. I just got to figure out what to do with everything I turn out, which was always a problem for me, cause I never was much into sellin.

I know what you mean RGINN. I do sell them and sell prints off the originals, but not a lot of them.Its hard to just give them away,because they might not really like them and it makes for a touchy situation. A guy told me once that you can tell how much someone likes a painting you gave them,by how quick they had it framed
