tdierikx Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Well... I decided this morning that I'd take a trip to Manly and maybe do the sightseeing thing around North Head, the Q Station, etc... Walked up the Corso from the ferry to the surf beach, then headed down the walk to Shelly Beach... Stopped along the way to take way too many photos of seagulls in flight, water dragons, and waves crashing on rocks - headed back from Shelly Beach back to South Steyne, and took even more photos of water dragons and waves crashing on rocks - then even MORE photos of seagulls in flight... Then back down the Corso to the ferry wharf and Little Manly Beach... took even MORE photos of seagulls in flight... Never got to North Head or the Q Station... but have some stunning shots of seagulls in flight... lol! Will post some pics once I've sorted the wheat from the chaff, OK? T.

tdierikx Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 OK... but there were so many seagull pics to sort through... *grin* I'll start with this awesome little dog I met on the promenade at Manly surf beach - his name was Socs, and he wanted to go play in the water so badly... A cormorant sitting on a pylon at Little Manly beach near the ferry wharf... Surf crashing over rocks... A crow that was shooed away from some guy's lunch... it was a very persistent crow though... A seagull taking a drink from a small fountain in the Corso... More coming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Water Dragons on the walk to Shelly Beach... This big fellow was most obliging and let me get pretty close... More coming... seagulls in flight/fight next... *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issy Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 The water in the seagull shot looks frozen! so cool :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Last lot... seagulls... There you go... I'm pretty happy with most of these. The ones that have some blur still tell a pretty cool story, and I think the blur seems to show how frenetic the little buggers get when they think there's food about... *grin* T.

Chequeredblackdog Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Wow! they are fabulous! I love the crow one! :D and in the last lot, the one of the seagull with an open mouth! Socs's piccies were super cute too! Does he have two shaved patches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Fantastic shots, you have captured some really great images! Love the one with the lady in the background and the seagulls looking like they are hugging. :laugh: the socs dog was cute, but why oh why do people have their poo bags attached to the collar end of the leash? Am I the only one who gets annoyed by this? Sorry for the off topic. Love the seagull with his mouth open looking right at the camera and the little dragon with his tounge out, so cute!

tdierikx Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Poor Socs had had a couple of lumps taken off him... benign lumps apparently. He so badly wanted to go down and have a swim, he was trembling with excitement. He is 9 years old and his lovely mummy has had him since he was 4 weeks old - she totally dotes on him and he's the sweetest boy. I got a lot of cuddles too... *grin* The shadier seagull shots were taken while I was sitting at a bench throwing bits of my rock cake (which was very yummy) up into the air in front of me - the seagulls "hugging" was a mid air collision... lol! Even though I didn't end up doing what I'd planned to do for the day, it wasn't a complete waste - I did get some pretty cool pics after all... *grin* T.
