In Flight
Following on from my post yesterday....
Here we have a gull at the pond in flight. I was lucky to catch this photo too. Gulls are much hated birds but I really liked them and have never had a bad experience with one.
I am always amused by comments like Angie’s above. We are 8 billion humans on this Earth, heading for 11 billion by 2050, a mere 25 years away, we have plundered every resource the planet has to offer, we have poisoned the soil, the air and the water - and continue to do so. And we have two many doves? You might wish to rethink that statement, Angie.
True but a lot of people don't like pigeons. Sadly we are taking over this world and there will be nothing left apart from us and our doom. Bleak isn't it?
And a lot of people don’t like Jews, Blacks, Transgendered people, lesbians, homosexuals, etc but that doesn’t make it right and they should be challenged.
Totally agree those values and dislike of animals and creatures should be challenged but people don't want to hear them sadly. David I have spent at least the last 5 years trying to convince people the importance of wasps and it has fallen on deaf ears. I will keep trying though.
Perfect framing! The seagull was looking for supper. Those creatures consume pretty much anything including human refuse.
