I used to be a “night owl,” waiting for the sun to dip below the horizon and the moon to slide up into the sky. Now, I’m all for the magic of sunrise. Watching the light gracefully paint the skies in rich pastels that slowly but surely turns into a rich, dreamy golden light has quickly become one of my absolute favorite things to do. Add a bird to the equation and the whole experience moves up a notch or two. Add a beautiful Dalmatian pelican who spent the previous day getting its “hair” done at the local beauty salon to the mix and it gets even better. Toss in a small breeze through the flowing locks and we are full on Vogue magazine cover the pelican edition.
