water (okay, the bird, too!)

natural gifts #3

the water is surely a gift, i don't know about the darn seagull. so it depends on each individual. as for me, i hate these damn seagulls because they made my head their walking toilet three times. the effing bastards! once i was all dolled up to go to a party and i had to go back to my apartment to take another shower and dress up. it was a good thing that i haven't reached the subway yet which was walking distance from my apartment. and look, i have to honour this disgusting creature by posting a picture of it. well, at least this time it also satisfies my bucket list but i'm still hoping to capture another bird in flight.

where was i? ah, water. i lost my trend of thought, so i'll leave you with these quotes:

"I never drink water because of the disgusting things that fish do in it."
- W.C. Fields

"It's a strange world of language in which skating on thin ice can get you into hot water." - Franklin P. Jones

oh you made me laugh tonight with that story. And NO, it is not funny that you got pooped on -- but you told it so funny! Still, a great shot. I'll never look at water the same again (and wondering about drinking it now -- hahaha!)

[Sally Ings]

Great action shot. Love your commentary!

[Kathy Burzynski]

oh they get me a bit nervous when they fly overhead - especially when they beg for food they are annoying. Sometimes I think they really look nice or add to a shot - but I would not be a fan of seagulls if that happened to me 3 times.

nice timing

Absolutely love that last quote! Fabulous shot, they say a bird pooping on you is good luck, not sure I see it that way! Nor you now eh;0)

At least you were able to return to your apartment and refresh. A seagull made a deposit in my hair when I was in Atlantic City to receive and award- 3 1/2 hours from home. Yuck! Needless to say, washing it out in a rest room was quite an accomplishment. Good shot.
