My first glimpse of Monday’s golden sunrise.
A few minutes later, I noticed Groom Swan and his duck buddies approaching, so I went back inside to get bread for them. As soon as I threw out the first piece of bread, the seagulls converged. Sometimes when that happens, Groom Swan seems to get disgusted and swims away. That’s what happened Monday morning.
Groom Swan and the ducks took their leave, but the gulls continued to swoop overhead even after all the bread was gone.
I wonder if Groom Swan knows how gorgeous he is in the early morning light?
Then, once again, it was just me and the sunrise. Or was it?
Did you see the gull? At the top of the picture….in the clouds?
I think he’s the scout – sent out ahead in search of any bread in the area.
these days of mine 
That scouting gull is a master of deception. I could hardly see him even after you pointed him out!
Beautiful pictures!
It’s amazing how their radar pick up on bread. Gorgeous, golden photos.
Beautiful photos – that golden sky is quite a welcome sight after all the days of non-stop rain and gloom! Just looking at the pictures makes me sigh….happily…..

I must agree with Marshall the last picture is a post card. Beautiful.
Awesome! 🙂
Wonderful pictures, you have captured them beautifully.
Beautiful pictures, Dianna. My husband thinks there’s always a scout pigeon lurking, to notify the others when seed appears.
Again, such absolutely gorgeous pictures, almost surreal in their beauty!
