Tiny White Flower.jpg
Day 75/365 This tiny white flower is only about 1/2 inch. I was amazed that I got a shot of it because the light in the greenhouse was quite dim. I used a trick that MM taught me. I switched on my cell phone flashlight and used that as the light source. :)

White Pelican and Black Loone.jpg
Day 76/365 It was an extremely windy day. I went to the lake and found lots of white pelicans and black loon's (I think they are loon's, give me your opinion). It is really interesting to see their feathers blowing in the wind. It was fun to watch them until I started to get cold.

Loone 2.jpg
Day 76/365 This is a beautiful bird. This one was stretching, but most of the others were floating with most of their bodies in the water with only their head sticking out. I am still wondering if they are loone's?

Pelicans and Black Birds on Pond 2.jpg
Day 76/365 There were many pelicans and black birds, that I think are loones. Look at the pelican in front of the one stretching his wing, I love that his head feathers are blowing back.

Nice photos but you are driving me looney!
To regain my sanity I did a Google Image search on "loons" and "loones" and I think it is safe to say these are neither.
Some expert will come along soon and grant us our sanity back!

I was driving myself looney Lawrence, first I didn't know what the birds were, then I couldn't spell it. MM and ML say that they are Comorant. So I will drop the lunacy. :)

Double crested cormorant. Starting the breeding phase. They get those tufts over their eyes that lay back almost like ears. You can kinda see them in the shot.
