About Linda Schaub

This is my first blog and I enjoy writing each post immensely. I started a walking regimen in 2011 and in 2013 I decided to create a blog as a means of memorializing the people, places and things seen on my daily walks. I have always enjoyed people watching, so my blog is peppered with folks I meet or reflections of characters I have known through the years. Often something piques my interest, or evokes a pleasant memory from my memory bank, so this becomes a “slice o’ life” blog post. I respect and appreciate nature and my interactions with Mother Nature’s gifts is also a common theme. Sometimes the most-ordinary items become fodder for points to ponder over and touch upon. I retired in March 2024 after a career in the legal field. I was a legal secretary for almost 45 years, primarily working in downtown Detroit, then working from my home. I graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in Mass Communications (print journalism) in 1978, though I’ve never worked in that field. I would like to think this blog is the writer in me finally emerging!! Walking and writing have met, shaken hands and the creative juices are flowing in Walkin’, Writin’, Wit & Whimsy. I hope you think so too. - Linda Schaub

      Thank you Esther! I started Wordless Wednesday at the beginning of COVID, so it’s easy to keep track of. I’m happy to give you a smile – laughter is good for the soul. I like when I get a quirky animal shot that I can use for Wordless Wednesday. 🙂 It may look like this seagull is screeching, but it was yawning!

      Good one Dave! And here I was, a mere human, encroaching on his/her personal space! Believe it or not, this seagull was actually yawning, completely silent which is unusual for a seagull believe me! If I hadn’t have been standing there I would have thought it was screeching its head off.

      Indeed – I can see how that would be an obvious response! Which is louder a screeching Pekin duck or a screeching Ring-billed Seagull? Unbelievably, this was a yawn and not a screech – who knew seagulls yawn with their mouths open that wide? It looked right at me – perhaps I bored him/her?

      Ha ha – that is good Nancy! And that’s exactly how seagulls think. There is a McDonald’s a few blocks away, so people often get their food and sit on the park benches at Bishop Park (or maybe I should say *try* to sit as the seagulls will start hovering around once they see you). At this park the gulls have been known to swipe hot dogs, both buns and wieners, right off the grills the City places around the park. Like the fries, I guess they don’t burn their tongue!

      Yes I love doing them Terri. I can use pictures that would otherwise get kind of lost in a picture-laden post and showcase them here like this yawning seagull, or other critters and flowers. It’s a win-win for me. I started right at the beginning of the pandemic so it’s easy to keep track of when I began.

      Thank you Barbara. Yes, I guess he told me off for getting in his face with the camera. 🙂 Unbelievably it was a yawn and not a screech, although it is difficult to tell the difference!

      Thank you Debbie! I started right at the beginning of the pandemic, so it is easy to keep track. After year one, I decided to keep it going as long as possible. There seems to be no shortage of oddball critter shots, including this one. I like your quip. Seagulls seem to have a bottomless pit when it comes to snagging food from people along the Boardwalk or the nearby park, whether they are willing to part with it or not. Unbelievably, this was a gigantic yawn and this seagull had that yawn long enough for me to get several shots of it.

      Thanks Rebecca! It’s been fun to showcase critters or flowers every week, photos that would otherwise get lost in a post about a walk with 25+ pictures. I like your quip – I think the seagulls tire of me taking pictures of them with nothing to offer except the click of the camera.
