      Thank you all! I appreciate the comments and faves. I was browsing through my film archives, scanning in some of my old favorites. I'm glad you enjoyed this one too.

      It looks they are marching towards...somewhere! Nice shot my friend!

      LOL Ale! I think these little thieves are marching toward the closest lunch basket! Man, I love the beach!

      great colours. What are they all looking at?

    9. laszlo-photo (84 months ago | reply)

      Thanks Ben and John. I don't remember what these "turkeys" were looking at but it was probably edible! You should see how these birds respond to an open picnic basket!!!

      BTW, This photo was taken on the 4th of July (U.S. Independence Day) quite some number of years ago. Happy Birthday America!

      Living on the gulf coast, naturally I love all these "gull-friend" photos.
      This one was great. So crystal clear.

      jaj, de édik, ahogy ott állnak, vajon mire figyelnek?

    31. laszlo-photo (72 months ago | reply)

      Yes, I was down there in your neck-of-the-woods Judy. I enjoyed Biloxi, but I have not been back since Katrina ripped through. I'd be curious to see it again. Thanks!
