Two Things Challenge: Up/Down

Originally, I was thinking the "up" part of this challenge would require me to be looking up, but then I decided that I could actually be looking at the seagulls up on the roof across the street. Seagulls build their nests on rooftops, so at my place of employment we get the rare chance to be able to watch the babies as they grow up and practice flying before making the ultimate leap off the roof!


This is mom (or dad) with baby seagull. The young ones slowly lose their gray over the course of two years until they have completely white heads like this adult.



This adult was hilarious standing on his one foot. He kept turning in the wind like a weather vane.

Our Lunchtime Companions

Once again we wandered down to the Waterfront for lunch and ate at Ivar's. The Seagulls know people will feed them their leftover fries, so sit and stare and yell at you constantly. It's mighty hard to have a conversation over all that racket!
