Pelican on a green "7"

One of 1000's & 1000's of navigational buoys.  The green ones are called cans.  They always have an odd number and they have a square top.  You match #7 to the navigational chart to see where you are.  Traveling counter clockwise on the Intercoastal, green is on the right or starboard of your vessel.  If you are in a river or channel, it could be different.

 St. Andrews Pelican Tree.

The Pelican Tree stands as a marker of rebuilding St. Andrews community after Hurricane Opal.  Once a large live oak, the tree was destroyed.  But, instead of removing it, the city hired a local chainsaw artist to create this fine piece of beautiful art.

If you are ever in St. Andrews, eat at Uncle Ernie's (the yellow building in the background). Delicious fresh grouper.
