Some nice shots on here lately, as usual... maddmacs, alaskamoose, of course doylem and johnnytraveler, and a few others I haven't mentioned...
Here's my version of the bird/seagull shot. I don't really take too many shots like this because they're (seagulls) so available down at the beach at the roadside beach parks. If you act like you're interested, they'll mob you, and you may just get more of a welcoming than you like... all over your head..
