In Praise of the Pelican

(Click on pictures for a closer look.)

"A marvelous bird is the pelican,

His beak can hold more than his belly can.

He can hold in his beak

Enough food for a week,

And I don't know how the h--- he can!"

My neighbor, here at the coast, introduced me to this little limerick.   She assures me that if you say the rhyme every time you see a pelican, you will become the most annoying person in town!  But seriously, we love our pelicans here.  They add a note of grace and dignity to the seaside.  You can add the same thing to your indoor or outdoor decor with our lovely carved pelican.

Beautiful Blown Glass

(Click on pictures for a closer look.)

Here at the South Texas coast, the light is fantastic.  Being in the lower latitudes, the sun's rays are more direct, and they make everything look brighter.  The play of the sun on the water is gorgeous, and we love our shiny glass art objects, to continue the vision indoors.  Bring one home, place it near a window, and watch it glow!
