Pete

"Pete" the Pelican watches over the Malibu Pier

A wonderful bird is a Pelican,
Whose beak can hold more than his belly can.
Be it crabs, clams, or fish,
It will hold all you wish.
But I'm damned if I see how the hell he can.

September 11th, 2011, on the campus of Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA, a memorial gathering to honor those lost in the tragic events exactly ten years ago.

On the green at Pepperdine University

People roaming the sea of flags

Many nations lost citizens on that terrible day

The Ocean, the hills, the flags and the green form flag-like stripes
