Monday evening I was on the phone with my friend Bev, when I realized it was time for the sunset. Since my cordless phone wouldn’t transmit that far, I told her I’d have to call her back. (Can’t miss a sunset around here.)
My buddy, Groom Swan, doesn’t like to miss a sunset either.
He also doesn’t like to miss a chance to eat, so, of course, I had some bread with me. And that meant we had seagulls for company. I hadn’t brought THAT much bread, so Groom Swan had to be on his game to eat as quickly as I tossed it to him.
Whew! This was a close one.
It certainly doesn’t take long for word of free food to get around in the seagull world.
Groom Swan and I had good team work, so the gulls had to look elsewhere for food. Finally the last one flew off into the sunset,
leaving Groom Swan to enjoy the sunset – and his dinner – in peace.
these days of mine 
Sunset and black swan. Oh my! Beautiful.
Some “people” know how to live!! What a life!
Oh, how lucky you are to have such beautiful scenery! I’ve always thought swans are somewhat magical.
Wonderful pictures! Just breathtaking.
WOW~ that was absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing your sunset with us.
Love the story and all your shots. If everyone could see sunsets like this, the world would be a much happier place I bet!
You’re probably right. I haven’t mastered videos yet, but would love to share the calm and quiet of the sunsets – unless of course, the seagulls are there!
Another great sunset! And I’m glad Groom was able to grab a bite; those seagulls tend to take over when they show up ..
poor little scrappy seagulls! mr. groom swan gets EVERYTHING! 🙂
you have the most beautiful views. sorry, friend bev. you just have to wait.
You and Groom Swan live in a beautiful corner of the world!
Thanks for sharing, I truly enjoy it and we miss our daily trips across the water. See you at the track this weekend, they dont know I’m coming.
I won’t tell! See you then!
So beautiful .. so peaceful and, I’ve come to love Groom Swan 🙂
Cheers! MJ
I’m beginning to realize you can’t NOT take a beautiful sunset/sunrise shots…Groom Swan makes it even more tranquil.
Sorry, double negatives…bad habit 🙂
What a wonderful series of photos, which I so enjoyed! Thanks.
Beautiful pix, as always. The swan adds a nice touch to the photos. My husband took birdseed out while I was away this week, and one morning he had a female mallard following him around. He loved having the interaction with her.
