A Group of Seagulls

Oh! To see the worldLike a bird, from high aboveAnd be truly free

I took this down by the lakefront in Belmont yesterday afternoon. I had lunch down there and the seagulls left me alone for the most part, which was a nice surprise.

I wasn’t originally planning to do this in black and white but I like it like this. It gives it the slightly old fashioned look I was going for.

And in case you’re wondering, a group of seagulls is actually called a colony, not a flock as is commonly believed. I blame the 80s band for leading people astray. ;)

      Thanks! Ah those were the days, weren’t they? When songs were big and the mullets even bigger. ;)

      Thank you! I saw some really huge seagulls while in New Zealand, they’re quite something to see too!
