A new day
Seagull |
For some reason the neighborhood birds were wildly excited this morning, so much so that they woke me up just after 5:00, not my usual time to get up. I was so early that I woke up the chickens to let them out of their coop instead of them standing by the door in wait.
The entire community is rejoicing in our new weather. Yesterday a neighbor hired a laborer to trim bushes and the saw was buzzing away for hours while the guy was getting the overgrowth caught up. The Tuesday evening farmers market was bustling with activity. The more I think about it, the more I think I know what those raucous birds were saying: "The sun's coming out, the sun's coming out, the sun's coming out, rejoice and see the sun!"
I really like your composition. Definitely a seagull, even close up.
ReplyDeleteLove your seagull pic. I like the super close-up view of him!
