Are pelicans friendly??? I would LOVE to sit along this Bay and watch the sunrise, John!!<:))Philly is in its 7th heatwave. By Saturday...Philly could reach 100*. We've already broken temp records...highest so far this summer...103*.
As soon as I take my camera outdoors...the lens fogs over! Camera has to adjust from AC to heat and humidity. Makes taking photos a challenge.
Will let you know if/when we trap the critters. It is a 'live' trap...George will relocate groundhogs, possums, skunks, rabbits, squirrels etc. to a park near the Delaware River. Lots of food and water to be had by all!!<:)) #8781009
