Just a walk... er... ride in the park.

I took a ride up to, and around White Rock Lake Saturday afternoon, as a reward for finishing my midterm that morning. (say a prayer).

Perfect day to be outdoors, and there were visitors from afar on the lake.

~~ Every fall, usually by October, a flock of white pelicans migrates south, possibly from as far north as Canada, to White Rock Lake to spend the winter months. Most often they can be seen at Dixon's Bay (a.k.a. Sunset Bay), on the east side of the lake, either sitting on the mudflats or sometimes on shore. Occasionally, they can also be seen floating on the water by the spillway, on the opposite end of the lake. ~~

Not unlike the snowbirds we had in AZ, I found a couple of the Pelicans coming out of a liquor store with gallon jugs of Vodka, Bourbon, and Gin. And, like their counterparts in AZ, these snowbirds were all over the lake, willy-nilly.

Glad I was on a bike!
