a pelican with their mouth open, and two fish are above to fall into their pouch, but one is above another and may take a path out

the pelicans mouth is closed, and there's a fish out

the pelican looks at the camera, miffed, the fish is far away from its head at this point

the pelican opens its beak and tries to go for it, but i can report back it failed, the fish was long gone

FINALLY GOT IT!

I've taken well over 100,000 pelican pictures, maybe 200,000.

Over 20,000 the past month alone.

Today, I snagged "The One That Got Away"

In my infinite optimism, I give you, a very rare:

Fish success story.

I can’t usually make art unless I convince myself I’m just doodling at first. That way I’m less afraid to make bold choices or fuck up, I guess? I get too in my head, I think. Anyway, here’s a snail I doodled to test out new materials someone gave me :)

A fleshy and jowly baby cockatoo with no feathers

Good morning only to this beautiful baby gang-gang cockatoo 🤣

That smile is giving strong hide-the-pain Harold vibes

nothing reminds me of the ceaseless progression of time like a "19 years ago" upload date on a youtube video

I’m not sure what this guy is, but he looks surprised.

The image is of a comic. Panel one depicts a young girl in bed. She hears "CLOP CLOP CLOP" noises. Panel two depicts the same girl with an excited expression. She thinks, "That must be santa on the roof!" Panel three depicts the girl smiling. Panel four depicts a possum on the roof in heels making the "CLOP CLOP CLOP" noises.

Sounds unlikely tbh

Last Christmas Ich gave thee myne hearte
But the verye next daye ther came a wolf,
Wyth sinews of whispers - quiet as frost -
And the wolf stole myne hearte, fled
To a tower out of tyme biyonde all the stars.
Seek now myne hearte,
Return it within a yeare and a daye:
Thys ys thy queste

The handsome and heroic character Zap Rowsdower is seen with a rifle in his left hand, and his other on the head of a horse that is standing next to him, in a scene from the hit 1990 film The Final Sacrifice. Rowsdower is wearing a "Canadian tuxedo" consisting of jeans and a jean jacket.

Larsen also employs a closeup to show the boy locating the child ouija board-style using a paper map.

Denmark was experiencing a Spiritualist craze at the time this picture was made, so it was an obvious topic for commercial release.

Often erroneously credit to DW Griffith, cuts between the imperiled and the rescuer were in use before he even started directing. Here, Larsen adds a twist be also cutting to the title character's visions of the child being robbed and threatened as he and her parents search for her.

The Boy with the Sixth Sense (1907) A Silent Film Review When a little girl goes missing in the forest, her parents turn to a young boy who has the ability to see distant events. Will they rescue her in time?

Today's review covers a supernatural mystery from Danish pioneer Viggo Larsen. When a child is lost in the woods, a boy uses his powers to locate her.

Very nice examples of mystic visions and cross-cutting for suspense!

The whole "why do orcs know what a menu is" thing is a non-issue

Hobbits are a metaphor for rural English nobility. It figures that orcs represent their hated enemy: the French.

All shoes and socks entirely bad and bare feet also not great, study confirms Researchers have confirmed long-held suspicions that there are no good footwear options and that having feet in general is just not ideal, a new study has revealed. The study surveyed all known…
