Hey FAA….we have plenty of Seagulls too and they like to leave plenty of presents behind especially if you have just washed your car. They are smart enough however to pick up a clam or mussel and fly up 50 feet or so then drop their dinner to the pavement breaking it open for easy eats. I have had more than one over the years land on my head. Luckily, usually with a hat on. Hurts like hell though if you get hit. This shot is looking out at New Haven Harbor in the distance. I don’t know if this bunch is A/C visitors or locals. I suspect the latter.

Very interesting shot. I love the water on three sides. They don't look smart enough to fly south for the winter either.

I was unaware of that spruce species, or that spruces had species in the first place. The blue spruce seems to be native to six western states. It sure spread its seed!

The Blue Spruce in front of my house is 3 times that high. Was there when I got there 47 years ago

These are a couple of nice sunsets taken from my sister in law’s and her husband’s boat or should I say ship from somewhere between New York and South Florida very recently. I have been on it a couple of times just for a short run.
