A Thought Came To Mind

Was sitting outside enjoying the sunshine just now. A light breeze was blowing. Such a lovely day. Thought about a post @Sharon6345 posted earlier about feeding the birds. I forget sometimes she is in NY and up high, close to the clouds.

I never see seagulls here but I bet she does. And they are probably eating her bread. I hope she can watch without being afraid. They will not harm you, especially from a distance. Not my photo of course. These seagulls are not seen here.

We have seagulls all over the place here at the Shore. I have a few beautiful framed photographs of them on the wall in the bedroom. They were taken by a professional.

There are seagulls here. I think they literally eat everything, so they tend to hang out where people dump their food or even the open business trash bins. They don't bother people . . . but at the beach the might, especially if you leave your food out!

Now, that's a surprise. I didn't think there was a place seagulls weren't seen. I thought they were everywhere. Now, I know they aren't. They eat everything.

Seagulls are fun to watch. We enjoyed watching them from our balcony in Ormond Beach this past summer.

One thing I never liked about living in an apartment was not being able to have a “sanctuary” to feed birds and squirrels.

I remember those days too. I had a ground floor apartment once and had feeders in a tree.

My son when he was a toddler visiting the beach was so cute because he chased the seagulls who landed on the beach. He honestly thought he could catch one and was sad that they were too fast for him.

When Nathan was little, I would push him in his stroller after going to McDonald's and we would feed the seagulls. We're only about 90 miles from the Atlantic Ocean.

@CarolDM One time we were feeding them from inside the car and I thought a couple of seagulls were going to fly right in the window!

We don't see many seagulls here, once in a while and usually in a parking lot. I see people throwing french fries out for them. Not sure that it is the best thing for them to have but they seem to enjoy them.

We often have gulls around, even though we are in the middle of Kansas. They especially like to come when earth is getting turned so they can eat any insects.

They do like large bodies of water, but can be found inland like we are here. Parts of the lake have gulls.

I see many seagulls flying here above my little place Carol. There are lots of them around Sloans Lake over here also. Yet, here I am at the foothills of the Rockies. I sure miss the beach when I see them.
