Oleg brought grapes and we fed the shriveled ones to the seagulls. He threw one grape in the direction of a gull, it bounced off the sand twice and the gull caught it mid-air in his beak. Clever little bugger, must have had some practice! A couple of weekends ago we were at this same beach and one gull opened a bag of animal crackers someone had hid under a beach towel. Within a couple of minutes a whole flock of gulls had strewn animal crackers all over and were in a mad dash to snap up as many as they could. It was comical but I would be annoyed if they had been my animal crackers.

For the Birds
We went to the beach yesterday. It may be our last beach day of the summer, which makes me sad. For someone raised in the mountains I sure have taken to the beaches!
