Even though we live in a very densely populated city, we can still find some wild things on the edges of town. While climbing the mountain last week, we saw some beautiful butterflies,
a praying mantis,
water buffalo sharing the trail,
a goat, donkey, and chickens in front of an old farmhouse,
and some mythical wild things on this ancient roof:
This week, we joined a large crowd of people on the lakefront:
who were viewing a huge flock of gulls that migrate to this area for the winter:
With so many gulls, the occasional collision is inevitable:
There are plenty of wild things to see if you keep your eyes open. Unless, like so many people, your eyes are focused on a small screen:
(P.S. After seven years of blogs, similar pictures may have appeared before. Sorry for any duplication!)
Reading this on my smartphone, so yes… I’m focused on a small screen 😂 love the pictures of nature! Reminded me of Timothy’s pictures.
Duplicates or not, that was some excellent photography!
Also reminds me of Timothy’s pictures – that was my first thought here! Clearly there’s a need for Tim to go back and be a wildlife photographer there.
I love that picture of the butterfly! That is really beautiful. And, I can’t believe you actually got a picture of two seagulls colliding… that’s pretty impressive.
