In a book I read recently one of the characters calls gulls "nothing but rats with wings." (The book is Lottery by Patricia Wood, and I give it two thumbs up, by the way.) Yeah, they're gross when they're trash picking at the dump or stealing french fries out of your kid's hand on the beach, but I kinda like them out on the water.
A photo (or more) a day from me/from Maine. Because it's both. I took the photo, and I'm in Maine. Although sometimes I leave the state, so the photo might not be from Maine. But it's still from me.

Campobello and Passamaquoddy Bay
A few more from out on Passamaquoddy Bay while we were visiting Campobello Island.

Yay, another seal!
Ooh, scuba divers! I think they were harvesting rock weed. Or maybe salmon or sardines from the aquaculture cages we saw out on the bay. Or something. What the heck do I know; maybe they were recovering a body.

Great captures! And I am glad there are seagulls to clean up everyone's trash. ;)
I think gulls are flying rats, too, but at least they are pretty. I really like that second gull shot! the texture of the water around the seal is really neat--nice shot. That looks like someone official directing those scuba divers, doesn't it....
Good pictures.
