ABC Wednesday: "D" is for Dock


For this ABC Wednesday, "D" is for dock - this one next to the St. Augustine Yacht Club and currently the resting place for at least a dozen pelicans resting from their morning hunting trips.

I see Pelicans are universal.
Great shot of the dock, over here we call them jetties.
Happy wednesday

What a great sight! I like Pelicans, my mom used to collect figurines of them. Memories. Wonderful "D."

Patty said...

Very nice! Is the water rally that blue?

So inviting, and calm

I like your D-ock and the fact that the pelicans stayed put so you could take their picture. I tend to take picutres of flowers as they don't leave before I snap. We have had white pelicans migrate to the Yakima River the last several years. Their original spring and summer home in Oregon was apparently developed or for some other reason no longer provided habitat. I love catching a glimpse of them during my commute.

is it a metal dock? It looks like a lovely place for a boat....

Do the pelicans pay a fee for resting there?

Andrea said...

Beautiful dock. Anything to do with water is beautiful. I want to visit there. Only been to Tybee Island close to Savannah on that side. We usually go to Gulf Shores, AL. or Panama City Beach, FL.

Dragonstar said...

Good choice! I can't get over the idea of pelicans instead of herring gulls - so exotic!

I love to see birds sitting about on things we've built near the water... it always seems a bit cheeky and makes me smile!!!!
