It's been months since we've actually had rain puddles, so I spent an interesting minute or two watching these two seagulls. I was standing on a railway platform and noticed half a dozen gulls land about fifteen metres away. Two of them made their way to this puddle and one deliberately immersed himself in it. It's exactly a week since we had the first real rain in months and you can already see the difference, with fresh green grass on lawns and nature strips.

Hi Shrink wrapped scream,
Thank you for that comment - I actually missed the REAL picture - the gull sliding into the water like a puppy!

It's almost as if the one gull is doing a little dance with his leg up and his body and neck position. It made me smile.
Hi Stacy,
It's funny watching them in motion on the ground. They're so graceful in the air but when walking they look like one of the comic characters in one of the old silent movies - jerky and unco-ordinated.
Glad it made you smile. That'sthe intention.
Hapy blogging
David
