Pelicans in Benicia
The white pelicans - more than just birds!
...incredible wonders of the natural world,
monster acrobats of the Benicia blue skies,
breathtaking ballet dancers,
synchronous airswimmers,
olympic caliber fliers.
...they wheel and soar in perfect unison,
play on the unseen wind,
disappear as specks and return in brilliant black and white,
sky captains,
elegant admirals of the air,
beaked and buoyant boats above,
the beloved Benicia pelicans,
returned to announce not only summer, but
beauty itself,
joy,
movement,
power,
grace.
