Everyone likes a sticky beak. I reckon this might be a great card for many occasions : Now I’m not one to gossip, but I’ve hear you’re having a special birthday…. / Now I’m not one to gossip, but someone told me you’re getting married….again! / Now I’m not one to gossip, but a little bird told me you haven’t been feeling well….. There’s a myriad of uses for this smart-alec bird. :-)

How many sales of this design – 1 sale so far :) / Pelican Love is from the ‘Beach Series’ and ‘Friends Series’ of original paintings by Karin Taylor. / It was created using ink and pastel on pastel paper. There is a beautiful story about the love that pelicans have for their babies, I thought I’d share it with you Reference taken from the Wikepedia Encyclopedia (please forgive the length of this, but it is SO interesting, thought I may as well share the whole thing !) In medieval Europe, the pelican was thought to be particularly attentive to her young, to the point of providing her own blood when no other food was available. As a result, the pelican became a symbol of the Passion of Jesus and of the Eucharist. It also became a symbol in bestiaries for self-sacrifice, and was used in heraldry (“a pelican in her piety” or “a pelican vulning (wounding) herself”). Another version of this is that the pelican used to kill its young and then resurrect them with its blood, this being analogous to the sacrifice of Jesus. Thus the symbol of the Irish Blood Transfusion Service (IBTS) is a pelican, and for most of its existence the headquarters of the service was located at Pelican House in Dublin, Ireland. For example, the emblems of both Corpus Christi College, Cambridge and Corpus Christi College, Oxford are pelicans, showing its use as a medieval Christian symbol (‘Corpus Christi’ means ‘body of Christ’). Likewise a folktale from India says that a pelican killed her young by rough treatment but was then so contrite that she resurrected them with her own blood.[1] These legends may have arisen because the pelican used to suffer from a disease that left a red mark on its chest[citation needed]. Alternatively it may be that pelicans look as if they are stabbing themselves as they often press their bill into their chest to fully empty their pouch. Yet other possibilities are that they often rest their bills on their breasts, and that the Dalmatian Pelican has a blood-red pouch in the early breeding season.[1]

It was morning, and the new sun sparkled gold / across the ripples of a gentle sea. / A mile from shore a fishing boat chummed the water, and / the word for Breakfast Flock flashed through the air, till a / crowd of a thousand seagulls came to dodge and fight for bits / of food. It was another busy day beginning. / But way off alone, out by himself beyond boat and shore, / Jonathan Livingston Seagull was practising. A hundred feet in / the sky he lowered his webbed feet, lifted his beak, and strained / to hold a painful hard twisting curve through his wings. The / curve meant that he would fly slowly, and now he slowed until / the wind was a whisper in his face, until the ocean stood still / beneath him. He narrowed his eyes in fierce concentration, / held his breath, forced one … single … more … inch … of … / curve … Then his feathers ruffled, he stalled and fell. / Seagulls, as you know, never falter, never stall. To stall in the / air is for them disgrace and it is dishonour. / But Jonathan Livingston Seagull, unashamed, stretching his / wings again in that trembling hard curve – slowing, slowing, / and stalling once more – was no ordinary bird. Extract from Jonathan Livingston Seagull a story / RICHARD BACH

I photographed this majestic blue heron in Point Lobos State Reserve in CA. It is fascinating to watch this bird standing on a floating log, for hours, waiting for the right moment to catch a passing fish. —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- I will donate 50% of all proceeds from the sale of this image and the ones below to the American Bird Conservancy Consider these images as companions! / And the T-Shirt below

Mallard duck The mallard is a large and heavy looking duck. It has a long body and a long and broad bill. The male has a dark green head, a yellow bill, is mainly purple-brown on the breast and grey on the body. The female is mainly brown with an orange bill. It breeds in all parts of the UK in summer and winter, wherever there are suitable wetland habitats, although it is scarcer in upland areas. Mallards in the UK may be resident breeders or migrants – many of the birds that breed in Iceland and northern Europe spend the winter here. / Where to see them It is the commonest duck and most widespread so you have a chance of seeing it just about anywhere where there is suitable wetland habitat, even in urban areas. / When to see them All year round. / What they eat Seeds, acorns and berries, plants, insects and shellfish.
