Another one of those nights where I scream at the blog. I had many more pictures for this series, but they kept coming up in a different order than I loaded them and I finally gave up with these few. It's bad enough having to load from the end to the beginning, but when I load 5,4,3,2,1 and then get 2,4,5,1, 3, it's infuriating. End of vent.
So anyway the Pitt Street Causeway is a long pier now out into Charleston Harbor that used to be a trolley from Mt. Pleasant to Sullivan's Island. Now it's a great place for fishing and birding and watching brown pelicans at work. They fly all around looking down at the water to see if there's a fish for the taking.
Sometimes they skin across the surface. I don't know why they don't touch with their wings.
The most fun is when they spot a fish and put on the brakes.
Then they begin the dive and gradually fold their wingss to gain speed
Till finally they are shaped like a missile
And into the water they go--hopefully to come up with a fish.
