(Not) So Ordinary

 

 Notice the typical shadow from RIGHT ABOVE!

 
I know, to you those are but ordinary seagulls. To me.... HOLIDAY!
And especially here:
 
 
I went for a swim even, it was wonderful.
 
This is for...
 
 
The Black Swan, Perth´s Icon 🦢 (imagine this emoji is black) 
 
Have a crittery Saturday!

Hello Iris,
I do love the gulls and being at the beach. Great captures of the gulls, they do strut about looking for food. The harbour is a pretty place. The Black Swans are lovely. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, enjoy your day and happy weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

Hello Eileen, oh, the beach is far away from our home and in Germany... the water rather brownish often and cccccold!
So... warm countries are a treat. Happy weekend to you!

...Iris, we have plenty of gulls here, but no black swans.

I do love gulls. They tell me it is summer!

Iris Flavia said...

Now I have neither, Tom...

Iris Flavia said...

Yes to that!

Nice photos!

We have gulls here all year usually. I like seeing them flying overhead.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you.

Iris Flavia said...

On one hand: Lucky you, RedPat, on the other... it´s nothing special anymore.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, and Henry always has a day off when we´re virtually back in Perth - he deserves a rest, right?
Dito, enjoy the weekend, Cheers

I feel sorry for the seagulls here. There are signs EVERYWHERE here NOT to feed the seagulls. Assholes do anyway and the seagulls get sick and die. The harbor is really pretty. Have a nice day today.

Iris Flavia said...

There are dumb people everywhere.... Oh, rainy today, so, wasn´t that bad :-)

I enjoy seeing different gulls when I go to the beach. I also wish it was warm enough here to get in the sea.

Iris Flavia said...

If I had a beach I´d be happy...

Nice gulls. I love Hillarys and Mandurah and Freemantle and would move there except I wouldn't be able to see the twins every week, nor the rest of the family and I would miss "no-one" and all her help.

Beautifully said and captured. Nothing is truly ordinary if we take the time to really look.

Bertiebo said...

Sure, I understand, such an image of a seagull represents your vacation for you. That's nice!

Iris Flavia said...

A happy weeke... Sunday for you, too - oh, time runs!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, oh, I still regret we kinda "forgot" before Ingo turned 50 as I do not see my family anyways! All we do is phone calls, despite it´s but a 60 km car drive for them... (with public transport it takes me forever).

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, thank you, well, I can only look when being so far away... All we have here in the city is pigeons and ravens...

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, in two years again...
