Taken across from the Flying J truckstop in Willard Utah. The Wasatch Range is right and out of sight the Great Salt Lake and Willard Bay are about a half mile to the left. A light snow over night left everything white topped.
This song reminds me of autumn days, a change in the weather, hot coffee, cuddles, comfort, and warmth with those we love most. It is all the good things I wish for you (and me) this weekend.
Happy Friday all!
My sandwich mysteriously disappeared from the picnic table. I asked this guy if I could frisk him and he complied but I think that bulbous stomach and crop is where the truth lies. With that said he is an adorable thief.
I take a lot of photos and not all of them go up up Flickr. I try to pick what I consider "quality" photos for posting. But, because I take so many photos, sometimes a photo falls through the cracks. This one is from last year; no idea why I didn't post it.
12/25/2022: haha I actually have posted this before. I'll leave it here, I guess. Silly me.
Seagull with his/her landing gear down, approaching crisscrossed wire used as a detterent to keep birds away.
Gulls, or colloquially seagulls, are seabirds of the family Laridae in the suborder Lari. They are most closely related to the terns (family Sternidae) and only distantly related to auks, skimmers and even more distantly to waders. Until the 21st century, most gulls were placed in the genus Larus, but that arrangement is now considered polyphyletic, leading to the resurrection of several general.
An older name for gulls is mews, which is cognate with German Möwe, Danish måge, Swedish mås, Dutch meeuw, Norwegian måke/måse and French mouette, and can still be found in certain regional dialects.
Gulls are typically medium to large birds, usually grey or white, often with black markings on the head or wings. They typically have harsh wailing or squawking calls; stout, longish bills; and webbed feet. Most gulls are ground-nesting carnivores which take live food or scavenge opportunistically, particularly the Larus species. Live food often includes crustaceans, molluscs, fish and small birds. Gulls have unhinging jaws which allow them to consume large prey. Gulls are typically coastal or inland species, rarely venturing far out to sea, except for the kittiwakes. The large species take up to four years to attain full adult plumage, but two years is typical for small gulls. Large white-headed gulls are typically long-lived birds, with a maximum age of 49 years recorded for the herring gull.
Gulls nest in large, densely packed, noisy colonies. They lay two or three speckled eggs in nests composed of vegetation. The young are precocial, born with dark mottled down and mobile upon hatching. Gulls are resourceful, inquisitive, and intelligent, the larger species in particular demonstrating complex methods of communication and a highly developed social structure. For example, many gull colonies display mobbing behavior, attacking and harassing predators and other intruders.Certain species have exhibited tool-use behavior, such as the herring gull, using pieces of bread as bait with which to catch goldfish, for example.[ Many species of gulls have learned to coexist successfully with humans and have thrived in human habitats. Others rely on kleptoparasitism to get their food. Gulls have been observed preying on live whales, landing on the whale as it surfaces to peck out pieces of flesh.

A shot from a hot September day when I went to Meijendel close to Wassenaar to get my repaired telelens back, and then to relax on the beach for the rest of the day. This shot was taken at the end of the day. A nice memory, and a reminder of my next trip tomorrow. To Dahab! I'll be back!

I can still find Wiley's house
Riding on my bike with eyes closed
I could name every girl that he took out
And from my memory, dial his house phone
Can you take me back when we were just kids
Who weren't scared of getting older? (yeah, yeah)
'Cause no one knows you like they know you
And no one probably ever will
You can grow up, make new ones
But truth is there's nothing like old friends
'Cause you can't make old friends (mm, yeah)
I can still feel the windows down
Listening to Jimmy Eat World
Riding 3-wide on Blake's bench seat (yeah)
My God, it's been ten years now
I would have his back tomorrow
And he'd still fight anyone who tried to touch me
Can you take me back when we were just kids
Who weren't scared of getting older? (yeah, yeah)
'Cause no one knows you like they know you
And no one probably ever will
You can grow up, make new ones
But truth is there's nothing like old friends
'Cause you can't make old friends
And I've got some good friends now
But I've never seen their parents' back porch
I wouldn't change how things turned out
But there's no one in this time zone
Who knows what inline skates that I wore
Can you take me back when we were just kids
Who weren't scared of getting older?
'Cause no one knows you like they know you
And no one probably ever will
You can grow up, make new ones
But the truth is
That we grow up, then wish we could go back then
There's nothing like old friends
'Cause you can't make old friends
I get around (get around round round I get around)
From town to town (get around round round I get around)
I'm a real cool head (get around round round I get around)
I'm makin' real good bread (get around round round I get around)

Seilebost beach on isle of Harris offering so many different natural layers and textures to the eyes.
Red Breasted Merganser nabs its dinner with its serrated beak well equipped for holding on to a slippery fish. Heavy Crop on this one! :)
Black-eyed Susans are the state flower of Maryland, the official flower of the Preakness Stakes horse race, an Australian rock band, a restaurant in Nantucket, a clothing shop in Long Beach Island,
a cocktail (made with orange and pineapple juices, rum, vodka and elderberry liqueur).......
A lot going on for this garden variety flower! They are so bright and cheerful!
