That first shot with the bird that seems to grin would make a great meme – it’s just waiting for the right caption. 😀

Thanks Matt. I’ve gotten some fun shots of seagulls interacting with each other and their sometimes deadpan looks. Seagulls are always good for a smile. 🙂

I think so too Margy and their expressions, sometimes deadpan, sometimes quizzical, always make me laugh. I follow a UK blogger and he these pictures of Black-Headed Terns he takes at a bird sanctuary. They look very unusual.

Thanks AJ – one plus from my walking regimen was starting to take photos for the blog and it was a hobby at one time when I still had the 35mm camera but I kind of got away from it over the years. I saw this seagull doing that and a little bell went off in my head “I’ll do a post and call it seagull yoga.”

That seagull IS a yogi! It reminds me of when my dog Benji used to do down dog with me when I did yoga at home. I miss that!

Isn’t that incredible? I knew when I saw this seagull that it was a Wordless Wednesday post and what I’d call it. This seagull seemed to move in slow motion … yes downward dog by a bird. That would have been cute Benji doing yoga with you – poor little guy. It will soon be about a year already.

That seagull does better than me too Diane! After I took a tumble in a snowbank in the Winter, a fellow blogger told me her doctor recommended a yoga tape and gave me the name. I ordered the DVD from Amazon and have not looked at it yet.

I think they’re photogenic too Joni. They have these facial expressions sometimes when they look at you. I love this cooler weather – it was perfect for working outside on a big project. Who wears a heavy sweatshirt with a tee-shirt under that on the 30th of May?

Thanks Janis … I am always hopeful when I go down to the Detroit River boardwalk that a seagull will happen by so I can get a few fun shots to use in my blog. This seagull looks a little exasperated with me in the first shot. 🙂

Have you even entered your photos in a contest, Linda? That first one is just sayin’ to the judges, “Choose ME!”

Thank you for saying that Dave. I have not entered any pictures with the DSLR which I use on the weekends (the rest of the time on my daily walks, I use a digital compact with 12X zoom). But years ago when I used to travel, I had a 35mm camera and entered a contest through the travel group I went with. I always traveled solo, but hooked up with a travel group at the start of the tour. For that trip, I went on a 3-week Scandinavian and Russia tour and I entered an ordinary-looking milk cow in front of a quaint, but typical, Swedish home. It looked peaceful and it won first prize, plus they used it in the Maupintour brochures for that trip. I was ecstatic. I think seagulls are so expressive. I like that first picture too. The picture that I won the prize is in this long post – if you scroll near the end, you’ll see it. The cow was even smirking! A few pictures down is a butterfly on a coneflower that was in our local newspaper. My fifteen minutes of fame!
