I know a little girl,whose hair in ringletsfalls, unkempt from lackof brushing; who standswhen she should be sitting;who laughs with defiance whenchallenged, her dark eyes gleamingwith mischief; who holds her chin uphigh and stamps her feet, arms foldedin protest when she does not get her way. I see that little girl,have watched her play,with a […]
Ask me how I’m doingand I’ll say “fine”, notbecause I’m actually fine,but because “fine” is the onlysocially acceptable response. If I said that I have been lyinghere, for three hours now,willing my body to move,that would elicit unsolicitedadvice and tarnish my “fine”. I’d berate myself for breakingmy promise not to moan,knowing that complainingprovokes a compulsive […]

The car looks precarious. And what a lot of seagulls. An equal amount of fish under the water? What a cool shot!

I wouldn’t park my truck or car there. The second photo is interesting because of the textures.

I’m quite used to seeing gulls everwhere, even in the middle of the city so, that one is fine and I like the movement, all seems very dynamic. The truck… I wouldn’t park there 😀

Lol. I think we’re all in agreement about the truck.

Photos often reveal things we didn’t notice at the time. That truck definitely looks like it’s on the way down. (K)

Yes, that truck offers a bit of nail biting. I wonder if the property knows? Better to have a sign up than a law suit. The gulls are a lovely capture, and I love that you kept the bridge on the left to bring out clarity, and frame of the area you see. Clearly something yummy around there. The pelicans in the back are an indicator too. They wait and watch.

They only have to come to the other side of the river to see, so, I would assume they know. The gulls sure challenged me. Thanks

Whoa! Yes….maybe the gulls knew something was structurally amiss and they were sending a message? Thanks, VJ! 😉

You’re right about the precarious truck. The gulls in front of the waterfall, don’t bother me as much.

That parking spot definitely looks dicey! Lol As for the gulls by the waterfall, they feel a little incongruous there. Normally we think of them by “shore”, not “fall”. I really like the juxtaposition of patterns in that photo. 🙂

Yes, it is odd to see gulls here. Obviously there is something in the water that attracts them. Thanks.
