in some ways getting up close to these guys is a little like shooting fish in a barrel.
Put a blanket out in one of our municipal parks and that is like putting out a welcome mat for gulls.
My other choices for today were a shot of a student driven light armoured vehicle or my friend's hands knitting (both on flickr).
This one though appealed to me, partially because of nostalgia - remember discovering Jonathon Livingstone Seagull in highschool (really the best time for that) and more recently Finding Nemo - my youngest child's favourite movie.
We can't see a gull anymore without shrieking "mine! mine".

Beautiful! We do the same thing, Nemo is my little ones favorite right now. He carries his stuffed Nemo everywhere he goes :)
this one looks like he really wants to be an eagle. he's trying for the wing posture, anyway. of course, the eagle would scoff at this one's red eyeliner (which i think is pretty fabulous).
*L* My girls have long since outgrown Finding Nemo, and we *still* say "Mine, mine, mine!"
A really great shot, with the wings out like that.

The sharpness and the detail in this is just awesome!
This shot is really balanced and very beautiful!
There's that 300 mm again! You do amazing work.
You really do good work with birds. And I love Sunday's fish out of water. It must be quite a sight when everything is covered with snow!
SO stunning! shall we publish a book? we have quite a collection to choose from...
:) my friend's li'l boy refuses to eat fish for food coz he goes, "how can i eat nemo?" :)))
beautiful light on "your" gull, gawdess.
