    I know one thing for sure: If you have a piece of bread in your hand and that gull sees it, things will not stay the way they are!

    Beautiful sunset shot!

    I think Lowell may be right Sylvia, the gull is looking at you in a 'hungry' way!! This is such a great image I love the battered old boat and the way you've cropped the shot. I hope you have a wonderful weekend with lots of blue skies.

    Thank goodness the future comes only one day at a time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to handle it. :)

    Both shots are wonderful! Love the golden path across the water and the expression on your young seagull. (I hope, if you fed the seagull, that it wasn't bread, or if it was, then at least a nutritious multigrain one.)

    Glorious fall of light in that first photo! Stunning scene! And the gull seems a little nonplussed on that fence! Interesting perspective with the boat sailing so close by!

    Gorgeous, spectacular sunset reflection, Sylvia! We are having temps in the 100s; it's supposed to be 107 on Sunday. We'll hunker down inside! I'm glad your temps are not too high.

    I love the gull with the houseboat in the background, and your Skywatch post below is spectacular (someone's been in the mountains)! Have a great weekend and give Sam a pat from me and Socks.

    What a gorgeous reflection in that first shot! And I have had a greedy gull take a french fry out of my hand when I wasn't looking!
