The Hood Ornament
I hope you like him.
(Warning) He bites a little and you may want to keep a garden hose handy if you feed him any herring.
Sunset in the North Atlantic
Me and the bird sailed into this sunset. I think he liked me cause he only pooped on the bow of the boat once. (All seagulls love herring boats :)
There is nothing like sailing into the sunset with a belly full of herring (in the case of the bird.......or the boat.......)
#1 - Fri Sep 23, 2011 9:48 AM EDTBeautiful. A person could really get some perspective out there with nothing but water as far as the eye can see...and that sunset lighting it all up.
"garden hose handy...." Laughed out loud on that one! From personal experience,the worst garden hose experience comes when about 50 bald eagles use the boat for a roost, while 'lightening' their load.:>)
#4 - Fri Sep 23, 2011 9:55 AM EDTHahahahahaha!! Love the "hood ornament". The sunset is so beautiful. Excellent photos as always. (((((((JJ))))))))
#7 - Fri Sep 23, 2011 10:38 AM EDTAbsolutely love it! Especially the first image - how the sun's reflection off the water frames the bird's silhouette.
#8 - Fri Sep 23, 2011 10:41 AM EDTGreat job!! I love the sunset, it looks like the sun is going right into the ocean.
#10 - Fri Sep 23, 2011 12:06 PM EDTLove both the hood ornament and the lovely sunset! Whereabouts in the north Atlantic were you?
#11 - Fri Sep 23, 2011 12:36 PM EDTRed sky at night, sailors delight!
Gorgeous and love the bird, too!
#12 - Fri Sep 23, 2011 12:47 PM EDTBeautiful photos! May you have smooth seas and full nets (or lines) on your journey, jj.
#13 - Fri Sep 23, 2011 1:50 PM EDTLOL! JJ, beautiful shots! I hope that gull keeps you company and brings you luck at sea!
#14 - Fri Sep 23, 2011 2:01 PM EDTBeautiful shots JJ! The colors and scenery are just great. I like your little buddy on the rail, the contrast really shows.
#15 - Fri Sep 23, 2011 5:05 PM EDTI am blown away by the great photos, they are intense images that really bring comfort.
#16 - Fri Sep 23, 2011 5:06 PM EDTI Give You The Bird
JJ, I hear this is your new group...you can gift it to other Viners, no CoH violations for the "act." True? Or just wishful thinking?
#17 - Fri Sep 23, 2011 5:11 PM EDTBootiful pictures JJ. Such a pretty sunset - no wonder the bird wanted to sit and watch it with ya. Be careful out there.
#19 - Fri Sep 23, 2011 5:28 PM EDTI think he liked me cause he only pooped on the bow of the boat once.
Is that why they call it the poop deck? Nice pictures JJ.
#20 - Fri Sep 23, 2011 7:53 PM EDTAre seagulls edible?
#23 - Fri Sep 23, 2011 8:26 PM EDTYeah, I bet there are kinds of nasty, but edible, things to be found along the coast, but at least there are crabs and fish for them to eat. I wouldn't even think about touching a gull that lives inland....
They mob our county landfill probably by their thousands. If you live between there and he coast you get to see the daily migration in the morning and evening. I'd have to be literally diying of starvation before I'd eat one of them.
Blecckk - that sounds like it would taste awful - seagull. Yuck. But if a person was hungry enough well then.....
We have sailed and I am getting out of cell range now. I will look you all up when I get back. (:
