St Helena and Hunting Island....continued.

The Sentinel Pelican

A Pelican Convention

Ali and I enjoy a long walk on the beach here every morning.   It is a gorgeous beach....nearly 4 miles in length of wonderful sand.....NO rocks at all.   After Ali has her breakfast off we go....and most days there are so few folks aside from us....I can let her off leash so she can enjoy the water.   And enjoy it she does.   So we stroll down the beach with her enjoying the water and me 'beach combing' for odd shaped shells and such.   Very often in the afternoon we take another walk (as we did today) in the afternoon and Pam usually comes along as well.

Ali loves to tramp around in the water, dipping her nose below the surface as she moves along.  Here she is watching some shoreline birds that she intends to chase any minute.









She is a great dog....and she has come back very nicely from her Mast Cell disease of just a few months ago, when all her joints hurt her so badly and she could hardly move.   Very nice to have healthy dog again!!

The beaches up North have seagulls everywhere.....here it is a bit different:  Pelicans everywhere.  

Strutting his Stuff!!



10 paces then turn and............

We had to walk this very narrow, walkway to get out to where
the Pelicans "roost" at the end of each day.   Pam, who does not like such open mesh walkways where you can see what is below you, could have remained in the car....but instead she walked out there too.  It was a good, long walk....kudos to her.

The end of another day on the islands of the lowcountry.......good night, Pelicans.
