as i walked the shoreline on an overcast day - with storm clouds moving in, they flew overhead but i couldn't get any decent shots of them... they called out to me - but i had nothing to give them. in the distance, i saw a couple of people and suddenly ducks were lifting off the water to greet them... i soon realized it was because they had food! of course... anytime you have food for the wildlife - you become their next best friend forever. so i figured it was just a matter of time... patience would be my friend as i kicked around the sand and murmured to the geese and pigeons who chose to remain behind with me...
soon the ladies with food approached, throwing nibbles into the water. gulls swooped close - wings fluttering almost within touching distance if i but stretched out my arm... i could see their lovely eyes and almost forgot to snap the shutter button. they are incredibly fast birds - when focused on what they want - determined and tenacious, not allowing others to get in the way... i attempted to track my shots on flight of fancy...
