You’ve seen these gulls before. They always seem to be hanging around the small, crooked wooden jetties down by the lake.
Sometimes they blend in beautifully with the colours of Nature: their white capped heads matching the frozen waves and their pearly grey bodies harmonizing with the melting ice.
I wonder if they were waiting for this one golden moment of total serenity: the syrupy sun dazzling their reflections, the perfectly still honey waters, the tree branches glistening with a hundred tiny twinkling orbs?
Or perhaps they just enjoy every moment that comes along?

We have them all over DK… which shocked me! In Texas you just see them at the coast! But I guess that no matter where I am in DK, I am an hour from the coast so they just fly all over the country singing their glorious songs !

We have seagulls in our city. They are fascinating to watch, that is when they are not trying to snatch any food you might have with you!
I love your photos.

I wish I could perfectly capture photos of birds like you do. The seagull looks very relaxed as if they’re posing in front of the camera.

Gulls are among my favourite birds. They are at home in the air, on the water, and on land, as few birds are. They’re resourceful, intelligent and communicative — qualities worth admiring.

I had the pleasure of caring for an injured, unreleasable gull for many years. However mellow they look those mental gears are always turning and finding the next angle to work – wonderful characters those critters! Love your photos.

I won’t tell you what we beach dwellers call them….not fit to reprint.
I love them, except when they decide to keen loudly, at 5 am while flying up and down my street.
Great shot.

I’ve often wondered what animals think…they’re lives just seem so dull. But I suppose they don’t think at the level we do, so the simple takes more thinking…

I love those pictures and as always your poetic descriptions. Bill is always reminding me not to call these birds “sea gulls”, a childhood term that I can’t shake, although I know better. Next time I will say that I am spelling it “see” .
