Henri notices the gulls all sit around waiting for hand outs. Me, I think they are pretty. But especially so in the sun, when I notice the softly blowing breeze rearranging their feathers.

Pretty gull.
Batting her lashes.
The ticket office at the Bar Harbor Inn Pier is closed for the season.
Today snow is falling and the temperature will drop back into the teens later this week, which makes me happy that I picked up this small bouquet of tea roses for our mantel.
As much as I enjoy the beauty of winter, there is something uplifting about having a pretty burst of color right in the middle of it too.

Wow Lili, your gull images are gorgeous! I've never seen a gull with such pretty eyes. I know those beautiful roses will tide you over until the next warm day, so lovely!

love these pictures, Lili. Your eye for a good shot is amazing. Loved the ruffled feathers shot, and the peek a boo with a birch tree.
Happy 2013 to you, dear friend.
Wishing you all the best for the year ahead.
I'd never noticed the lashes before - very pretty. I like it when the wind blows the feathers a bit, and of course I adore seagulls.
The roses are definitely super gorgeous - I hope mine survive the winter - you never know here if they will or not. So much rain often does in their roots. If they don't - I'll just buy more.
You have shown gulls in a different light. Who knew they had such sweet eyes!
I love that shade of pink for roses!
Stay warm and take good care!!
Are those eye lashes I see . . . wow. Nature is always amazing, especially up your way. Nothing like fresh flowers in the house. I think I want some too :O) xo
those gull snaps are superb .. and the roses .. if i wasn't afraid that our imp cat Harry would eat them, we'd have a bit of spring on our mantle too!
Hi Lili! It's so nice to see a new post from you from your beautiful state! I adore seeing the beauty that surrounds you there! This winter sure has been a blessing so far, hasn't it? I fear we're going to pay for it sooner or later, but just think...only a couple more months and spring will be calling! :)

Love the gull shots- such amazing eyes. Looks like you've had a lot of snow this year. It's been kind of warm down here, lots of mud! blech. But today the temp has dropped and it feels like winter. Now, if we could just get some snow.
Lili! I have just been backscrolling through your posts...I did not know you were posting again. *(my feed stopped working long long ago, and I haven't figured out how to get it back...) I just randomly check in..I am so glad you stopped by and I came over here to see if you were writing. I LOVE YOUR PHOTOS - When Kurt and I were driving out of Iowa headed for NC to welcome Justin home...we saw TWO eagles perched on a stark tree by the road. WE loved it...such beauty. {{hugs to you}}. I'll be back!! xo
BEautiful photos. I have never seen gulls this up close. So stunning.
Great photos of nature up close at play, sounds like you enjoyed your day in the sunshine
Not sure how I
missed this, but
I'm so glad that
I stopped by this
morning, as your
walks and your
words always bring
me great peace.
Happy Weekend!
