This is a repost from a couple of years ago. I should be back to my regular schedule next post.Wednesday was the first really warm day of the season. The thermometer reached a sunny 23C (74F) which prompted me to take a walk up to a small man-made lake a few kilometers from home. A pair of seagulls appeared to be dramatizing their young romance solely for my entertainment. Here's their story in pictures.
Once upon a time...
Boy meets gull.
First fight.
Boy loses Gull.
Alone.
Broken-hearted.
Boy drinks to forget.
And gets high.
Gull comes back.
Happily ever after.

I love happy endings!
Beautiful pictures of a common but too often disregarded bird.
In this case then, I guess gulls would be a two syllable word.
A fine story well told.
Aww, they live happily ever after, which is great. Anything else would have been gulling.
Adorable love story on wings. :)
VERY cute ...
Fun ... love how you caught them mid flight
Hehe....very nice story. Like the climatic middle...but so glad for the ending;)
OK, but when do they get to go to McDonald's and dig around in the trash? On their one-year anniversary?
I love seagulls!
Hmmm. Another idea for a children's book. :)
Smilng. I may remember this one, but it's still funny.
I think Ill go out on a limb for this one and say King Crimson Matte Kudasai. I think you'll see why.
So That's how it works ;-)
I really liked this the first time and even more the second time!
So cute! Glad the story had a happy ending!
I am so gull-ible.
Do you think they built a cozy little love nest?
Will it truly be happily ever after, or is a lifelong romance strictly for the birds?
Seagulls make good pictures.
I even like the sound of them.

Thank you everyone for your always-kind words. I'm still kind of off-schedule for blog visits and comment replies but I hope to get back to "normal" soon. Please know that your visits and generous comments are all very much appreciated. Thank you so kindly.
Hi Hilary:
I haven't been checking blogs or making and comments for a while... it's been busy busy around here. Tonight (Saturday 30th) is the final night of being on stage with our local variety show, so once it's over, I'll be posting some pictures of our latest song and dance production.
Love the story you have woven through the gull pix. They are a very misuderstood bird. Noisy scavengers of course, but I have a soft spot for them having lived by the sea as a child, and I took great pleasure in feeding stale bread to the seagulls. They would fly by and take it right out of my hand. I only got my fingers nipped a couple of times. They were very accurate in their aim.
I love this post. What a great story. Beautiful.
Really beautiful shots!
Loved your blog :)
