A New Kind of Pet

They follow her down the street,
faithful puppy dogs begging for a treat
but they don't sit, shake hands, roll over--
and they sound more like Rover's squeaky toy
than Rover.

SkyWatch Friday: White Bird

This seagull was eying a park ranger eating lunch at the Marine Park to see if he had a chance at some scraps. The ranger obliged and the gull and several of his buddies had a feast.

Skywatch Friday: Seagulls and Cell Phones

The sun sets beyond the Olympic Peninsula, while a girl watches the seagulls and chats on the phone on the pier in Seattle.

Seagulls at Larrabee

I know seagulls are a major nuisance and supposedly quite dirty, but if you ask me, they're very pretty. The crisp white against grey, the pale yellow beak with a dot of red at the tip. I would decorate a room in those colors. Anyway, this seagull is perched on a rock at Larrabee State Park, and as long as I'm so freely giving my opinions, Larrabee is the best state park in Washington. Gorgeous views, miles and miles of trails, an incredibly beautiful drive on the way there, and great tidepools for starfish hunting with the kids. Plus, while it feels secluded, there are two fine dining spots within a 15-minute drive: The Oyster Bar and Chuckanut Manor.
