Feeling stresed,
There are some awesom bubbles that just sorta relax you. It's cool!

you are paleturquoise
#AFEEEE

Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well.

Your saturation level is low - You stay out of stressful situations and advise others to do the same. You may not be the go-to person when something really needs done, but you know never to blow things out of proportion.

Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything.

Pelicans in Paradise

07.11.04 (3:04 pm) [edit]

Please pay this site a visit and see some pretty awesome looking art, displayed on some interesting birds of the Pensacola area.

What is “Pelicans in Paradise”?
Modeled after community art ventures around the country, Pelicans in Paradise is a public art project developed by the Pensacola News Journal, showcasing the talents of local artists. Proceeds from the sale of these Pelicans will provide newspapers in our schools to improve student literacy and raise reading levels.

This Pelican is named Emerald Coast, ARTIST: Pennington is an award-winning artist, illustrator and teacher. She has illustrated four pocket books for Peter Pauper Press and has taught many students about watercolor through her workshops and video, “Wet on Wet.” Her artwork is on display in Pensacola and Alabama.
“I always try to do art that gives back to the community,’’ she said.

How big are they?
Reinforced Fiberglass, each standing just under 5 feet tall and 4 ½ feet wide. The Pelicans weigh approximately 70 pounds.

Who decorates them?
In late fall of 2003 and early 2004, more than 100 local, regional and national artists submitted samples of their work and proposals, colorfully displaying their ideas for their Pelicans. Artists were selected by each participating sponsor. Artists used various decoration materials (such as paint, glazes, and fiberglass additions) that would tolerate the Pensacola weather.

Where can I find them?
The Pelican launch will be concentrated in a 5 block radius in downtown Pensacola. From Palafox in the west to Tarragona in the east, and Garden Street in the north to Zarragossa in the south.

How long will they be here?
The Pelicans will be on display in the Pensacola area through the end of 2004.

Can I see the rest of the Flock online?
Sure, starting Monday, July 5, we will profile a different Pelican in this space.

To think that I had to read your BLG post to keep myself current in community stuff. Seems if I don't hear about it on WCOA, or see it out here in the Key I'm out of touch.
