AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Sorry, every time I see a group of seagulls I think of Finding Nemo.

Lovely to see seagulls by the sea, and not loitering shopping centres and people's back yards!

It's very rare to see only one seagull, isn't it? I bet they love having the beach with no people there to ruin their fun. :)

Love watching seagulls in a flock flying around the beach and looking for people who had snacks and they landed on that place...sometimes they're annoying but that's the way they live and have their feed.

Great capture, the beach and ocean is their home.

The gulls are having a great time, the whole beach to themselves! I love the waves!

Sand, water and seagulls. A prefect combination for Watery Wednesday. I love it!

There's a kind we saw in Texas called "Lsughing Gull" -- when there's a bunch of them like this, the sound they make is eerily like some kind of horrible noisy bar or cocktail party. Really weird. But they're a pretty black and white bird. Wish I'd gotten this good a picture of them.

That was quite a crowd of them. They are very nice to photograph even if they are a bit loud at times.
Lovely picture :)

And a perfect playground for us humans too. We can share, right? No sense in letting the gulls have all the fun.

My Wednesday post if about a song in my heart...do drop by if you can. Here's the link

Seagulls is fun to watch specially when you give them food. Happy weekend!
