What are these birds up to? Do they gather for a little afternoon chit chat? Do they plan an attack like in the movie?

Last Sunday walk before my vacation. The water fountain in front of the Convention center is a popular spot for the local seagull population. They like to hang out in it. Swim around, take intensive baths. This gull was just coming up again starting to shake the ...

The move is finally over. All (!) the boxes are unpacked and the contents put into their final destinations. Yeah! It seemed to be an endless quest. We lost count of the boxes we moved. I built several shelves, the guinea pig cage including a bottom area ...

One more photo from my Sunday walk. Since the weather was really nice, it is nice and warm still, people have been out and about, sitting on benches, having little picnics.

I didn't get out much lately since I, like many others, have one of those annoying colds that won't go away. Since I don't have anything new I'll post this Holga photo from the series I did last year. The one where I forgot to switch from ...
