This is roughly from where I used to wait for the bus home every day from school.

I think I'm suffering from "military-itis", which is the strong urge to move every two years. I'm so tired of living in the desert (we've been here 2 years now) that I haven't been taking many photos. But I did take this picture of some flowers that I bought for my daughter for her 9th birthday, which was yesterday. I thought they were lovely. _________________________ We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same. (Anne Frank)

Djsgal, it took me about 15 years to stop getting "military-itis." Now I'm just amazed that we have been in the same house for 18 years!

I can't help thinking that black-headed gull was quite sick, as they're normally very lively birds - but that's nature, and a beautiful image nonetheless. The black, or more accurately dark brown, head is only visible during the breeding season. Here's a nice set of bird tables for sale.

The black, or more accurately dark brown, head is only visible during the breeding season. That's a sad thought - and not very nice of me to take a photo of it's last moments, but we decided it must have just been tired. We also initially thought it must have been injured or sick as it did not seem to mind us being close. We were discussing what to do about it when it just flew off into the field. Maybe it just had enough energy to get away from the prying humans before giving up altogether, but it seemed ok.

lilyalli Prolific Registered: Fri Apr 20 2007 Posts: 1038 Loc: Norfolk UK	Gulls generally drive me nuts! I live by the river and people feed them so they screech and fight and then mess on my balcony. I have gull spikes fitted to my roof to stop them perching but they still deposit everything as they fly over. It was nice to see the real beauty of this bird close up, as normally I don't have a good word to say about them. Geese, however - they are something else..... _________________________ "If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there." Lewis Carroll

martin_cube Multiloquent Registered: Mon Sep 18 2006 Posts: 2534 Loc: Bristol England UK	Here is a shot I took of the Grand Pier at Weston-Super-Mare in Somerset which I took last year. Sadly it caught fire a couple of months ago & the main building (on the right) was completely destroyed. The owners have vowed to rebuild it but I doubt it will ever be the same. _________________________ Don't Dream It, Be It!

martin_cube Multiloquent Registered: Mon Sep 18 2006 Posts: 2534 Loc: Bristol England UK	It is a great shame, I spent many happy hours on the pier too. The only good thing is that it happened early in the morning and nobody was injured. The speed that the fire spread throughout the wooden structure, it might have been a different story a few hours later. _________________________ Don't Dream It, Be It!
