GULL APPROACHING MY PATIO

Posted by Anne (White Rock, Canada) on 16 January 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

When the weather is rough at sea the gulls retreat and come looking for breakfast and lunch here! My high ISO is simply because the weather was so dim and gloomy I couldn't get enough shutter speed up for the size of this lens.

Big cyberhugs to everyone - I'm glad to be back for a while - sure missed everyone!

Well! I am back and missed being away so long due to ill health. It was a bit of a struggle to find energy to stay on my computer and post. My daughter Lesley and her husband Robin, gave me this wonderful gift of a cruise to Alaska and Lesley and I had a whale of a time! I could just live on that ship - absolutely wanted for nothing! Hope to hear from you all! Don't know how much I can get around posting comments - so will probably have to keep them brief - but will try to get around as much as I can! Thanks to all my friends for their good wishes!

Please go ahead and give me constructive criticism where needed! I am a bit out of practice at both taking and editing decent photographs - so help me if you can!
