A Day at the Beach

When we first moved to Florida, I loved the seagulls. I was so amazed by the fact that these birds could dive in the water and swim to catch fish. I learned really fast that they will eat almost anything. So, we sometimes will bring food like, crackers or bread to the beach to feed them. Well today Ariel brought 2 packs of crackers.

Before I get the camera settings done, she has thrown crackers out and the birds are coming.


Initially Jerry is holding the baby. But when he foolishly gives Cailin a cracker and the birds fly in a take her cracker. They steal her cracker while she is sitting on his lap. They do this, not once but twice. This prompts me to take the baby. I am also decidely through taking pictures when I have my eye up to the viewfinder and feel a bird's wing brush against the side of my face. I put the camera in a semi-automatic mode and hand Jerry the camera. He takes 250 pictures easily. He jokes that his Monday nights are free (meaning he doesn't have to take a photography class to take pictures). I remind him that I set the camera for him!
