These are my last few photos of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, for now. There's a few more areas I want to visit along the coast, but I'll wait until the weather warms a little. Picking up from where I left off with the last post, my hubby and I passed through Gulfport on our way home. As usual, my eyes scanned the beach and shoreline for anything with wings interesting. Soon, I spotted several Brown Pelicans gathered along the wood pilings of an old pier and decided to join them for a short visit.
The pelicans appeared quite comfortable where they were- some preened and stretched while others napped.
A few Royal Terns claimed their spots on the old wood pilings...
Sanderlings searched the shore for tidbits of food...
And a Black-bellied Plover stood silently still for several moments...
With Spring just around the corner, my mind has been busy with thoughts of how I want to landscape my shady back yard. I see a lot of land clearing and hard work in my near future. Out with the old piles of dead limbs, pine straw and a couple Mimosa trees I want to get rid of. In with new plants like Oyster ferns, Hosta varieties, Bleeding hearts and Ornamental grasses. Spring fever grabs a hold of me in late February and I can barely wait to get my hands in the dirt.
I hope your week is going well. I've worked the past two nights so I'm ready for some good, deep sleep. Have a good evening Peeps :)
