WALKIN', WRITIN', WIT & WHIMSY 
I love seagulls even when they are stealing my food. We don’t get them inland but along the Jersey coast when on vacation.

Me too Kate. They glide overhead and always remind me of Summer days along the water. I had three sets of seagull photos that were amusing. This is the last set and I’m sure there will be lots more down the line.

Thanks Ally. The antics of seagulls and the looks on their faces is priceless sometimes. I was pondering what to call this post and had lots of titles and decided he looked like he was an opera singer.

You should ask your readers to submit thoughts on what his companion is thinking. He looks – well – embarrassed, to say the least!

You know, that would be fun to do Dave. I think I will do just that. The looks on both their faces was just like a couple of humans when one does something odd and the other rolls their eyes. Thanks for the suggestion.

It was funny that day I was watching them Ann Marie. It was at Bishop Park. The looks on each of their faces made me smile. It sure was gorgeous today, though a tad icy at the Park when I was down there. I came back home pretty quickly and walked in the neighborhood where it was snow-and-ice-free. I’d have never thought so much snow would melt, even if it was balmy out there.

Reblogged this on WALKIN', WRITIN', WIT & WHIMSY and commented:
Wordless Wednesday … with a twist.
Fellow blogger Dave (https://lifeinaword.com/) commented on today’s post entitled “Pavarotti?” by suggesting: “You should ask your readers to submit thoughts on what his companion is thinking. He looks – well – embarrassed, to say the least!”
Over the course of several shoreline visits to the Detroit River in Wyandotte, I saw enough crazy Seagull antics to use the tagline #Seagull Shenanigans three times.
When I created this post, I came up with a ton of fun titles to call it, based on the Seagull with its mouth wide open and the deadpan look on the other Seagull’s face. If that wasn’t funny enough, the singing Seagull was wearing a very sheepish grin in the last shot.
So, among the post titles that sifted through my brain were:
“The Bad Boys of the Boardwalk”
“Pennies from Heaven”
“Catching snowflakes on my tongue”
“Bad joke or bad breath?”
“Gulls just wanna have fun” and …
“That takes a lot of gall, er … gull!”
So, while Pavarotti the Ring-billed Gull was screeching up a storm – what do YOU think his companion was thinking … is he embarrassed by his gull friend or perhaps he/she secretly covets that voice?

Yes, not cute and fuzzy, but expressive like a human’s face.

He’s saying, “this is my spot and I’m not moving.” The other one is is thinking, “Okay, chill out, whatever…” And that’s why the first one is looking so sheepish, all that fuss over nothing. 🙂

Ha ha – I think you have nailed it Barbara. The Seagulls have such human characteristics sometimes – right down to the facial expressions I often take photos of them in pairs and it seems one Seagull “acts the fool” and the other one looks on as if disgusted or embarrassed to be around them. Much ado about nothing sometimes.

🙂 Their interpersonal relationships are fascinating.

Yes, they are and they linger longer permitting us to capture those expressions.

Both expressions are fabulous! One seagull is happy to be at the beach yelling “yahoo!” The other one is like, “please bro, cut it out. Remember we’re in public.”

Glad you liked this … I get a kick out of seagulls Esther … they have these human-like expressions sometimes, just reading the look in their eyes. I was at the River last week and had a seagull perch not far from me, so got a lot of shots of him/her too for an upcoming Wordless Wednesday in March.
