Out on the Wharf

Out on the wharf A solitary seagullWatches our livesPass by

We had gale force winds around Belmont yesterday, so strong they were blowing the bins around outside. Thankfully they eased a little in the late afternoon and I went for a walk along the lake to get out for a while.

I wandered out onto the wharf and just as I did, the winds started to pick up again. They still weren’t quite as bad as before but wow, were they cold! Think I turned into an icicle in about three seconds flat.

In any case I managed to get a couple of photos while out on the wharf and I was happy with how this one turned out. The seagull seemed happy enough to pose for me, although he seemed disappointed I didn’t have any chips to share. Sorry Mr. Seagull. Maybe next time.

I quite liked this photo as well. The boats were bobbing up and down and I think it captures a little bit of that motion in the choppy water.
