So, hello people, I’m back. Welcome to all those recent followers, amazing, really, considering my neglect and unannounced departure for a couple of months. I haven’t had any strife in my life – I just found it hard to get back into any sort of routine after three weeks of camping. Got a bit melancholic, and lost track of the small things until just a few days ago, when while walking in the wind, a shower of golden autumn leaves flicked my joy-switch back on. I might even unpack the camera, soon.

These bird photos were taken at Big Tom’s Beach on the Murray River, near Cobram, on the border between Victoria and New South Wales.

So here I am again already, before time slips away. The new series for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge are Things of Nature – and here I was expecting one with only birds, with tricky prompts like a bird with four colours, or must have six birds in a row. LOL. I have no idea why I thought that.

Anyway, for Fun Fotos, I present you my seagull pics taken at Kingston S.E., South Australia, a week or so ago. We spent two nights at their RV Park, no facilities except a nearby public toilet and beach shower. This pretty spot, by the jetty, was only $10 for a maximum stay of 48 hours. This is the town with the giant crayfish. Sadly, the sculpture has shrunk with familiarity, not helped by the trees near it having grown.

Seagulls are always a lot of fun to photograph. They can be sedate, or raucous. These sprang into action when a fellow, seeing saw me taking photos, stirred them by throwing bread closer and closer to me. It started to get a bit Hitchcock-ish, so I was glad when he drove off! Still, I got some great shots. (Nikon D3000)
