Beam Me Up

Thanks for the lovely comments - we went to the beach tonight to feed the seagulls, which Bronte loves to do, and it was just a perfect night. In no time we were surrounded by hundreds of the squawking birds, (much to the unhappiness of the people eating dinner in their colourful beach house behind us!) I took lots of shots, they just venture so close and have little fear. This is one of my faves.

    Well, my response to those curmudgeons if they don't like seabirds they shouldn't buy a beach house by the sea! And who cares what they think anyway, especially when you can take pictures like this.

    Not only are we right in among the gulls, but that extraordinary sky douses them in magic. I like it.
