What's outside of your picture window today?

Technically not "outside my window" unless you count the car window...just a 90 mile drive to the Gulf Coast yesterday.
We had our Canadian friends along for our beach drive, a brand new experience for them - an undeveloped portion of South Padre actually has a designated road in the sand - only cars, bikes and light trucks allowed - no 4 wheelers or motorbikes tearing up the dunes.
Yesterday was warm and foggy (all day) which is unusual so the beach was deserted except for us and a handful of avid fishermen - many with Minnesota license plates! The pelicans and herons took advantage of the deserted beach to relax along the shores and in the dunes - these are unaltered photos. I can't wait to play with them!

@sueinmn and all... Wow! Did you ever take fantastic photos! These are such wonderful birds. I adore them so much... I think I mentioned a couple years ago I had a huge blue heron fly over our home when I was living in a home on a creek feeding into the St. Johns River and we had a pool and pool house in the back yard. The bright, sunny day suddenly got dark inside the house. I thought a large plane went overhead, but it lasted too long and was different. It was a blue heron with a wingspan of enormous width to cover the entire house as it did. It landed on the roof or the pool house, sat there for the longest time saying hello to me as I watched, camera upstairs, a didn't breathe forever afraid it would leave. I whispered accolades and lots of 'oohs' and 'aahs'. What a wonderful memory for me now.
Thank you, Sue, for sharing these magnificent creatures. Stunning.
Blessings, Elizabeth
