A pelican settles into a sea of water hyacinth, its muted gray-brown plumage a quiet counterpoint to the electric green surrounding it. The bird is almost camouflaged, and the composition is nearly abstract — a study in texture, color, and the unexpected wildlife that calls Powell Gardens home. This image represents the side of Powell Gardens most visitors do not expect. Beyond the cultivated beds and designed landscapes, the 970-acre property supports a rich ecosystem of birds, amphibians, and aquatic life. This pelican was not placed here for a photograph. It chose to be here. A striking image for anyone who appreciates wildlife photography, botanical art, or the intersection of the two. Available in multiple sizes and license types.
