June 19, 04

This was soooo weird, I was outside, watering my garden, when the phone rang, it was my daughter calling me from Va. Beach, teasing me that she was sitting on the beach and just got out of the water from a swim, (she just moved there last month), about 5 minutes after talking to her, as I was in my yard, I heard a bunch of seagulls, and turned to see at least 50-75 seagull flying over the trees at a low altitude and right over my head and house, I ran into the house to get some bread, threw one piece in the air, and there they all were, hovering over me, my son finally heard the noise and came out and continued to feed them as I took pictures. We don't have a large body of water near us and seldom get gulls in our neighborhood, I just thought it so weird for my daughter to call and tease about the beach and next thing I know, it was sort of like being there. :-)

Love the story and the shot. I got chills as I was reading it and knew the warm feeling you were having as it was happening. You captured the gull just beautifully.

The backlighting on this really makes the shot.
And I note Herb (below) gave you a kudo. He is mister bird picture taker ... so that is a nice compliment.
