Your art is incredible. Really love these pickets painted. xxxgmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04879507440579599549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-778937253987192407.post-33885236178003677182013-10-25T05:25:36.903-04:002013-10-25T05:25:36.903-04:00Your pelican paintings are wonderful Judie. You...Your pelican paintings are wonderful Judie. You've given two examples of man's interference to make these majestic birds' lives difficult and painful. <br />On cycling home from work, my husband saw young men flicking lighted cigarette butts at these harmless birds as they picked up the glowing butts in their beaks and swallowed them. Unfortunately as the men were drunk and aggressive he was limited in what he could do. Such interference often ends badly here - a Dutch tourist lost his life recently through trying to rescue someone in an alcohol-related country town incident. <br /> It makes me despair when we should all be appreciating the fact that these unusual birds are there to admire (and paint!). Thank you so much to you (and your friend) for your rescue work.
