There are few sites more calming then watching pelicans soar just above ocean waves. I’ve never seen a procession of pelicans like this, probably haven’t spent enough of my life near the coasts. Thanks for sharing.

Some nature needs a microscope to appreciate. Check out this majestic #Tardigrade #waterbear found in a sample of soaked moss in a restored floodplain. You can see his 8 claws and round mouthparts. Also present are nematodes and a very fast ameba(?) makes an appearance.
