I Love Homies!
Random snapshots from recent photo trips with Fujufilm X-E1. Ubiquitous, and from every vantage point, the gulls always make their presence known. Gloucester seagulls are the best–so photogenic!

Me too, Donna, and love too how they oftentimes make an otherwise prosaic photo come to life!

Nice shots. Wonderful camera.
What’s that dot below the gull in # 4? Did the gull loose its lunch, or is it a defect in the image? Enlarged, it’s a heart-shaped something, but I don’t know what.

My guess is a mussel. Seagulls will purposely drop shellfish onto a hard surface to crack it open, and then swoop right down to eat it.

I think Fred is correct. I lost sight of the gull in my camera’s lens and didn’t see what happened to the shell, or whatever it was.

I love the gulls. Once on Revere beach (if you can call it a beach) I watched a gull drop a tennis ball from waaaaaay up in the sky and once the ball hit the beach and bounced back up, it swooped down to catch it. The gull did this several times, bounce and catch, moving away down the beach. I’ll never forget that.
