Down the Hatch

Work is kicking my butt this week, so despite the gorgeous sunny (80 degree!) day, I didn't have alot of time for photos. Steve and I went to the herring run tonight and I took about 350 shots in a half an hour. About 345 of them were not so good. I plan to revisit this place and this theme when I have more time. Back to work...hope to catch up with everyone tomorrow...

Laurie, this is absolutely amazing! The water has frozen along with the gull and fish...fav!

But that means you got five really good ones, including this one. I haven't seen too many other people capture a gull in mid gulp. Well done.
