California Seagulls for Feathered Friday

in #esteem6 years ago (edited)

I am late for FeatheredFriday, but I am doing it anyway.

If there is anything I have in my photos, it is birds. I took a lot of them for a project I was working on a few years ago and I do not want the let this FeatheredFriday initiative by @keithboone go without me!

This week I'm showing you some California Seagulls. They are all huge and always caught my attention. The east coast seagulls are half this size and I was always amazed my these giants.

Imperial Beach Pier is where I caught this angry guy. He was stealing bait and do not try to get in his way!

Glorietta Bay in Coronado is the backdrop for this poser. I'm two feet away and took many shots. He is a good 18 inches tall and not whatsoever concerned with me. I rode off on my bike and he stayed put.

And then looking out to sea.

Two more friends on the same beach are flying off down towards Mexico which is the land you see in this shot.

That's all for this week, and I will be back. My "bird" search in Windows Explorer came up with 617 shots. Thank you @keithboone. May we continue for years to come!

Situation Critical – My rent and wifi are not paid and now are both overdue

UPDATE: I am so happy and relieved to tell you that:

  • my rent and a wifi top up have been paid.
  • the money sent to my US paypal account is on its way and will be here next week.

A bigger post describing this will be posted soon, but I want to let anyone checking on me know that the first part of the situation is solved and that at least I will not be cut off from the world without a roof over my head.

I am so grateful to you all.

It is that time of year when the fitness equipment is out and the diet books are being read. I lost "Half My Size" eight years ago by using natural methods, and you can too!

This is Sharon @fitinfun. I am posting:

Thank you so much @keithboone. This was a beautiful beach and unfortunately horribly polluted with Mexican runoff these days. All beaches are closed now down there.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that! That's terrible!

I have a lifetime supply of too many photo themes, and this is why I need to live into my 200's :)
