Nature Walks – Synchronized Swimming

I was outside with Juneau and Vinnie when I saw a few pelicans out swimming on the first lake. So I ran inside and got the camera and took these shots from my deck. There were six pelicans, all swimming together, doing their synchronized swimming for the day. They all turned in the same direction and would follow the leader. If one would dip down for a drink, they all would. If one switched directions, they all did. They did that for quite awhile until one pelican decided he had had enough and was ready to do his own thing instead. There is always one of those individualists in the crowd. Usually it’s me. 🙂

I am forever the rebel, and I always do my own thing. I hate following everyone else. I am nothing if I am not an individual. Be the individual in the crowd. Be unique. Be yourself.
