Seagull and Icecream cone

Not something you'd expect to see.

THAT is certainly a beak-ful! (or, would this be the very rare "Conehead Gull"?) A unique capture and made me smile! Great wing-spread and good detail, especially with the sun at what looks to be a fairly high angle.... of course, a gull carrying an ice cream cone is not exactly a shot you can plan for! Fun image!

[KathieThomas]

Thanks Sandy. Once of those chance shots!

[Grace Scalzo]

This one made me laugh!

[Diane Miller]

Holy Cow!! Wonderful!!!

I'm stopping at the store and bringing a bag of cones next time I have a chance to shoot seagulls!

It wouldn't be hard to shoot a "full" cone and clone in the ice cream!

[KathieThomas]

lol Diane. I saw it snatch the cone up off the sand after a child dropped their icecream. A sad/happy moment - sad for the child, happy for me for the photo opp. :S3:

Reinforces the adage, "Don't leave home without it", a camera, that is!

[KathieThomas]

I never do :S3:, goes with me wherever I go. Guess this photo is a good case in point! Thanks John.
