Salty drinks and nature's runway...

To dodge or hope for some luck...

I've heard that if a bird poops on you it foretells good fortune...


My car must have a ton of good fortune...


Especially the second after it gets washed...


Ok, all joking aside... I took advantage of a feeding frenzy and a breeze off the north shore as we were waiting for the "polar bear" leap into the sound. These seagulls were hovering en masse as a few of us clicked away. Thankfully none of them showered me with good fortune.

Fly?... Bee?... Bly-fee?...

Whatever it is I stunned it...
then I shot it...
and then I released it.



Freaky little bugger.

That's what dreams are made of...

I had Van Halen on the brain after shooting this.

Who needs a wing AND a prayer?...

I took these about a week ago and was still getting used to the camera's settings and feel for capturing a moving target on a not so bright day.




I only wish there were no other birds around this one. What a shot it would have been.


Just wait for a bright day, a steady hand, and a fast shutter ;)

"I'm telling you, it was THIS BIG!"
"No joke? Couldn't have been bigger than that one I caught... you remember... it was THIS BIG!!!"


"Ok, you got me there. That one was pretty freakin' big."
