Made a short trip to Perth last weekend. The picture of the beautiful pelican was taken at Mandurah, a beach resort about 80km from Perth. The lone pelican seemed to be basking in the clean air and fine weather. Its beauty attracted quite a few photographers. After I took the picture I remarked to my husband that the pelican was so much luckier that the ones at the gulf where the BP oil spill occurred (see contrasting picture).
The pictures in today's Sunday Times of birds drenched in oil evoke feelings of sadness. Somehow it also reminds us that things can happen unpredictably which are beyond our control, just like what befell the birds at the Gulf. Like the Perth pelican we must relish every good moment.
