This
photo might seem out of place on a webpage about gulls. However,
when I take animals to the Ft. Fisher Aquarium, I take a ferry.
I bring Cheetos and my camera. On this recent day, there was
an entire busload of school children that I asked to feed the
gulls for me. They did not know that scores of gulls would appear
suddenly appear out of nowhere! Instead of photographing the
gulls as planned, I began to photograph the children. The boy
in the white shirt pitched each Cheeto like a baseball. At the
end, a gull pooped on one boy's shirt. When he approached me
with a forlorn face, I cleaned his shirt with a sani-wipe and
then let him see the animals in the back of my car. It was a
terrific ferry ride.
