These are some of the Seagulls that we passed on our walk on the beach. They just looked so pretty enjoying the warmth of the sun and were kind enough to let me take their photo. Thanks so much for your views and comments. They're always appreciated.

Eileen this is superb. Everything is perfect. The different gulls spaced out and the wave capture and the pretty hued sky. You and your mom must have had a great time at the beach. sandi

This is great! LOL
The one in front looks so relaxed! I can't say I've ever seen an expression like that on a seagull before!

It's images like this that make me wonder just which is the "smarter" species ... Birds or Man ... These guys strike as being "Brainy Beach Bums" ... what a life. :o) Great perspective down low Eileen. Nice post.

They sure look like they're enjoying the quiet of the beach. Not too many people and a chance to rest :) Lovely capture and post Eileen. Thanks.

A fine shot of them winged critters. It's so nice of the other seagulls to watch over the one with no legs. They must push him off a rock or something to get him flying. Gives new meaning to 'belly landing.'

What a neat shot this is Eileen! You must have been laying on your surfboard to get this one right? LOL I love the perspective on it...you can see the bird in the foreground all the way out to the horizon on the sea! Nicely done my friend!! C):-)

You did lay down to get this, and that is why it is so perfect. It was worth getting wet. Great capture of these Seagulls Eileen, and the sky looks nice also.

lol! brilliant title Eileen and a wonderful photograph. I hope you didn't get too wet taking this one! I have just got myself the ideal accessories for taking low photos and high photos - a monopod! :) amazing how high you can lift of your camera or just turn your camera upside down and hold it down really low. How did I survive without it! lol! Adding this one to my favourites - superb shot! Patti

Rats with wings.
But you make it look good.
You did a great job getting close enough and getting that perspective, almost looking up at them.

Wow, Eileen. It looks like you got down there with them in the sand! I hope you didn't get too wet! I like seeing the one lying down. You must have had to zoom in to get such a close shot. I can't even get more than 10 feet of them! The colors look so pearly against the lovely sky.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Hey there ! This is just such a most lovely shot of the gulls! Sizes like "mama, papa and baby" eh?! lol....I love the whole group and the fact you were able to even get the water movements just beautifully! The sky is soft and the pastels gorgeous. And here I go being a bit "pickey" ....it would be even better had you not done the scene in "halves" but in "thirds" instead. The horizon kinda cuts the whole photo in half. I would have loved to see either a bit more of the water in the foreground or more of the sky above. But thats small stuff compared to the whole scene. Its fantastic my friend..V

This is wonderful, Eileen, I love the ground level point of view you've captured and the extremely bored look the bird in foreground has on it's face. It's a great shot -

Hi Eileen, I put this wonderful capture in my Favourites folder but clean forgot to comment on it. Seems everyone on Caedes has already done so! Excellent shot; I rate this as one of the very best images you've posted. Well done, Eileen.
