Well, he is, isn't he?

A recent repeat, but maybe from Sudoko-land, as it sparked a discussion re: Ogden Nash.

The Pelican

A wonderful bird is the Pelican,
His bill can hold more than his belican.
He can take in his beak
Food enough for a week;
But I'm damned if I see how the helican.
~ Dixon Lanier Merritt (often incorrectly attributed to Ogden Nash)

It's nice to know who you are! This was fun...

Richard, the big ones are but what about the little guy off to the far left of the picture?

When I first saw the colors, I was tempted to skip the puzzle...glad I didn't...the colors fit and it was fun.

Hope the little guy can keep up with the big guys!

Glad you liked the picture. Thanks.
Great poem, Candace. My father used to cant that whenever we saw pelicans!

Sorry forgot to add - the sea gull flew up to one of the pelicans and looked like he/she was asking to join there synchronized swimming game. Obviously the answer was yes because next thing it was swimming time with them!

tough one!

That was an interesting exercise in identifying texture. Thanks, Kate.

Good for the gull!
Kate: I had forgotten one of the lines (re: enough food for a week?), but also had fond memories of my Grandmother in Florida, every time we saw the bird on the beach front.

Dino - appreciate the comment - when you do the texture - the lines, it put a different perspective than just color or puzzle-shape.

Sigmund Freud slipped here

another good one

What the?

Obviously this was the day for picture mixups. I'd like to have seen the pelicans, but the sleeping turtle is pretty cute and made for a very hard puzzle with all that black and subtle dark golds.
