Suppose you got news that a darling little fluffy seagull chick was just outside your domicile. Would you:

A. Jump up, grab your camera, and run out to get a photo, or
B. Say, “Oh, that’s interesting,” and go right on with what you were doing.

If you answered A, you are a kindred spirit. Read on. If you answered B, I wonder if you wandered into this blog post entirely by mistake. No one will fault you for leaving, but you may find the proceeding story will vindicate you.

As it happens, I did recently have an opportunity to jump up, grab my camera, and go in pursuit of the aforementioned baby seagull. I took a few photos, getting closer and closer. The baby didn’t seem to mind. I like to think that we were having a moment.


Suddenly, a loud noise interrupted my reverie, accompanied by the sight of a large seagull swooping down toward me.


I yelped and backed off, but was dive bombed twice more by this very protective parent as I tried to get away.


Since I yelped each time, the crowd of kids on the beach got quite a show. You’re welcome.

Fun times!

If you hear me yelping in the morning, you’ll know I had to delete this.

  1. I’m an “A”, but usually by the time I locate a camera, said creature is long gone….like the mallard duck walking through our yard last week.  Didn’t get him
