WALKIN', WRITIN', WIT & WHIMSY 
I love seeing your gulls! 💙 They look like they’re bonding in the third picture…

I thought you would get a kick out of the gulls Barbara. In the space of a minute all this action happened with these gulls and the title and pictures seemed to go hand in hand. 🙂

You know, I always love your photos & stories but gulls? Nothing but scary! Thou shall not let watch your kids The Birds too early …

Jeanine – these gulls on the boardwalk are pretty well behaved unless someone is feeding them, then they come out of the woodwork! The rest of the time, they either perch on the boardwalk or fly overhead. I was there last year, when a few gulls were out, then a guy came with a bag of bread torn into small pieces. He was tossing it out and suddenly 30 gulls swarming around just like in The Birds. Yikes! I took a few pictures, but they were flying into one another to get the bread, so I left.

Seaguls are basically flying rats 😉 I will never get cool with them … Although, now that is has been years since living on the beach, they do have a bit of a holiday feeling. I’m so sorry, I will never be a fan. But it’s really not their fault in the end …

You know that a lot of people feel that way about squirrels – they call them rats with tails. I like them and they’re cute, but take away that furry tail and yep – they resemble rats. I had an opposum in the yard this Summer. I went in the yard after a storm to see if anything had fallen in the air conditioner unit because it was high winds and we have trees around … it was early in the morning. Lost a year off my life, that prehistoric-looking thing looking at me. 🙂

Is it too early to proclaim this as the best title of anything posted on the internet in 2021?

Ha ha – thank you JP! It’s funny because I grew up in Canada where we pronounce “buoy” as “boy” … so that would make the title funnier. The gulls, in the space of a minute, went from side-by-side companions, to one looking longingly at the buoy, then an about-face, then leaving. I decided on the title as I clicked away. 🙂

Glad you liked it Diane – I saw those gulls and buoy and the title popped into my head right away! I think today is warmer than when I took this photo on the boardwalk back in June! We are going to be warm until the last week in October and I’m sure it will be likewise for you!

Fun title! I think my favorite thing about seagulls is their mew… it’s so evocative of the shore.

Thanks Janis – everything lined up just right to use that title. I agree with you. I’ve been down to the Detroit River on the coldest days and the seagulls are buzzing around overhead – it sounds like the shore on a Summer’s day.
