You've been a bad bird Originally uploaded by ricmcarthur so go sit by yourself. This gull sat staring at the sand bank for about 4 minutes, then it started to look around. The bonaparte gulls seemed to be shunning it.

half way house Originally uploaded by ricmcarthur It aslo reminds me of a flse front on a movie set. I think the tractor in the bushes is a nice touch.

It's time for a change. Originally uploaded by ricmcarthur Tired of the same old look, then it's time for a make over. A true metamorphosis, in a short time the caterpillar will be a monarch butterfly.

I'm driving the boat, Originally uploaded by ricmcarthur so sit down and stop bothering me! My grand niece and her family visited this week and she took over the boat driving duties. She could just see over the steering console. No, she didn't hit anything.
