My Best Daily Shots
06/22/10 - Flying By
This is another shot from the beach on Sunday. Some of you may remember that I like to feed the gulls and try to take close-up pics of them when I'm at the beach. Often, Joey is my brave helper too.
This past trip was no different. I had leftover french fries from lunch, and the gulls were quite appreciative of the treat. I have several shots where they are touching the fry in my hand as I take the shot:

or making crazy faces at me as they zoom by in hopes of nabbing the prize:

I even got a few tongue shots:

I guess I picked this shot to share as a daily because it's the most classic pose and best framed up of the shots. I ran a noise filter on it but it is otherwise unaltered.
Johnny enjoyed hearing how brave he was in yesterday's shot. Thanks for the comments on that one. Still wishing I was back at the beach...
