Isn't that what some wrinkles are called? This tulip, even though it hasn't much life left, still has a lot of beauty, in my mind. The wrinkles give it so much more character ;)

The feeling you get when there is no pain. I captured this very low point of view of these gifts from the Pacific Ocean. iPhone image.

Black-headed gull in Winter plumage/ the head is predominantly Black in the Summer months.

The genus name Chroicocephalus is from Ancient Greek khroizo, "to colour" and kephale "head".

The specific ridibundus is Latin for "laughing" from ridere "to laugh"

(Chroicocephalus ridibundus, Syn: Larus ridibundus)

Laughing Kookaburra, Woordlands Historic Park.

A very serious laughing kookaburra.

Laughing Kookaburra (wiki)

It was on the clothes line in our backyard this morning.

They laugh. It was slightly rainy yesterday evening and they were laughing so seriously. When they laugh, they laugh so super hard that if you hear multiple kookaburras laughing together you'll laugh so much till falling down 😆

The Laughing Gull is the dominant species on the Texas coast. They are year-long residents along the Gulf coast and up the Atlantic coastline. They breed as far north as the coast of Maine. They will winter as far south as both coasts of northern South America.

Notice how nearly identical this gull is to the Bonaparte's Gull, except the bill and legs on the BG are dark red and the eye ring is a bit more pronounced. Its call is different, too, as it does sound like a laugh.

I found this bird in Texas. Like many gulls, it didn't seem to mind people. I was happy he posed for me. The sky was overcast, so I didn't get any gleaming light on the bird, but he still presents well here.

Thanks for the visits, faves and comments its greatly appreciated.

This kookaburra was sitting in the tree in our front yard. The photo was taken through our open balcony door and the kookaburra was at about eye level.

Or at least kind of smiling

I had to laugh when I saw this photo, the expression on his face, the look in his eyes, told me he was not amused that I was there.

or is it a bird ?

It's only a gull, but they can be fascinating to watch sometimes.

Cav, I don't know what it is, But I'm truly happy we can laugh together and pull these weird faces over Wine and Coke & Whiskey. I feel truly bless I can be so open with you. So I rise my glass and cheers to memories, tons of laughs, funny face, getting to know each other more. and to the wine because we are both wild and crazy.
