In Touch with Nature: Lost in Sleep

The pelican in this photo rests serenely on a log, both legs tucked close as it balances with natural grace. Its head curls back into its feathers, the great bill resting against its body, a posture both protective and calm. The soft ripples of the water mirror its stillness, while the golden eye, half open, reminds us that even in sleep the bird remains watchful. This image captures the harmony of nature—vigilance within vulnerability, peace within balance, a portrait of survival and quiet elegance.
