Today I drove to Pacifica to enter my photos in the contest.  I had never been to that part of the town and was pleasantly surprised to find yet another beach at the end of the road.  Pretty little slice of beach very populated with hotels and seagulls.

I took a walk on the beach and took a few shots.  As I got back to the entrance I noticed the gulls were clustered by the rocks, so I went and sat about 12 feet away at the edge of the surf.  Before too long their curiousity got the better of them and they were all within 4-6 feet of me.  Staring, standing and sitting near me keeping an eye on my camera.

I think I got a little bit pink in the face from the sun.  I stopped by a produce stand on the way home.  They're getting in the first of the pumpkins already!

Not a bad day.  You can click on the pics to get back to my flickr account and see the other shots.  It's pretty impossible to try to fit them all on one blog.

    I love the colors of fall!  The gulls probably wondered if you had food to share.  :)

    Wow Uni, those are so cool!  And to be that close to those birds, I'd be beside myself!  Lol.

    UF - thank you, I shoot what appeals to me.  Glad you like them.

    MMM - I think they did wonder about the food.  Probably thought the camera was edible.

    SL - thanks!

    Wow uni - you really do have an eye for a good pic!  I went to your flicker page and continued viewing - i've never seen a baby/young Seagull in my life and I live at the coast - you are soooo lucky!!  They are adorable.

              Great pictures uniquely-ironic, I must admit I thought about Pluto in the first pic. It got better after I stopped feeding him dry food  ;o) .   Just kidding, off to church I go,  I'm planning to stop at a few yard sales on the way home. It was suppose to rain today, but I guess things changed . . . no complaints. Have a great Sunday, I'm going to eat like a king tonight. We're going out to dinner with my neighbors and they're buying ;o) I plan to make up for lost time . . . . . .  .  [   !   ]       
        This Greek always makes me laugh and he doesn't even try. I just love the way he parts his hair in the middle. He's bald, I doubt if he has forty hairs left.

        Oh and by the way . . .  that one bird sure does get around. He was standing on a rock over here just the other day.

    frags - what do they call those plants?  I like them too and they always remind me of horses tails when horses are running wild.

    TIO - it does kind of take you a minute, doesn't it?

    rain & MsStar - thank you!

    phoeby - well, my camera does most of the work on focus.  That and patience.

    puss - I love the seals!  Those big dark eyes steal my heart.

    CM - hope you have a great dinner.  Yes, that one gull was quite a ham so no doubt he gets around.
