Hello everyone in winterland, where snow, ice, and cold, cold temps are getting you down. This is Mr. Seagull and he's here to let you know that we're going to spend a week with VF at the beach (from the VF photo archives), to sort of get everybody's mind off the cold winter blues, and into the groove of the coming perfection of summer...
Please pray for Bella.
Bella Update: 10/14/08, Tuesday. Bella will see her doggie cardiologist today. We are hoping and praying he will find some healing/improvement in her heart/aortic valve condition. God is the one who heals and blesses.
Bella's miracle, the one we're all praying for, is still a day by day process; it may take a bit of time for completion. Bella's battle for life, wellness, and needed healing for her heart isn't a sprint but a long-distance run. Bella and I thank you for joining her prayer "team" around the world. Each of you are truly special blessings to us.

@Michael Skorulski: Thank you Michael, but this is a photo holiday week for all my Am3 friends. I am not going anywhere. I live near the beach, and this week I'm providing archival shots for the winter-bound to hopefully enjoy "of the beach" while all they have to look at outside is snow.
Nice shot VF!

Great capture VF and I can't wait for you to share a little bit of summer with us - because although we're in the middle of our summer it seems to have been hijacked by the rain the past few days and hasn't been very summery at all!! hahaha. I love your DOF and the utterly bored look ont he gulls face! :) Bring on the beach

Mr. Seagull has been excellently captured, I like the "i-don't-mind" attitude he's got going here. :)

@Photographs by M.E.: I am not going anywhere, I already live near the beach Am3 is going to the beach "with me" via my archival shots of previous times at the beach. So this is not a trip for me, it is a virtual trip for you or whoever visits here in the next week.
I know I for one am looking forward to it!! Woke up to -31C this morning... ah the Great White North, eh?!! LOL I love seagulls!! Great shot, VF!! He looks to be a proud representative of his species!! LOL
