29: PELICAN SARRACANIA
Sponsor: Bayside Academy
Artist: Bayside Academy Upper School Art Department
About the Pelican: The students of Bayside Academy under the direction of art teachers Vickki Turner Finch and Juli Day chose to depict images of flora and fauna found in the Splinter Hill Baldwin County Bog as a visual reminder of the special coastal environment we are privileged to inhabit. Bog motifs such as long leaf pine, white pitcher plants, pot-of-gold-lilies, a timber rattler, gopher tortoise, tree frog, fire and water are included in the design.
