Corn flakes anyone?


Mom and her seagulls are a regular early afternoon entertainment show. We bought a Mexican brand of cornflakes, ate them once and decided that the cereal was for the birds - literally! So now, every day or every second day, Mom feeds a few seagulls that seem to have claimed our beach as their territory. Woe betide any seagull that tries to snap up a few of the flakes. It means and instant chase and threats of some ungodly type of torture I am sure.

Yesterday's trip to see flamingos was almost a bust as the flamingos were so far away that it was basically worthless in terms of a photo exercise. But then again, it was a good outing from the villa and I did get a few different kind of photos using the telephoto lens. We got back in time to let me catch a few periods of the Bruins beating up on the Senators. Okay, so the final two periods were basically Ottawa outscoring Boston but there was too much of a head start given in the first period. Auld was the weak link yesterday. I think it will be his last season in Ottawa with Elliott getting to be back up to LeClaire next season.

We got in our regular morning hike up the beach followed by another swim in the sea, a long swim now that it is starting to feel warmer here. I imagine that for the last three weeks it will be almost hot most of the time. The time is slipping away quickly.
