I call this "Seagull On Topwater" 😬  I didn't really want to catch it...it was faster than I thought it would be. 

When I was in 8th grade I hooked a shad we were using for bait and flipped it up on a rock so a gull could take. He did. I fed him some line and let him get up a ways and then I set the hook. Luckily it didn’t connect but he did take a bit of a tumble before regaining proper flight. I thought it was hilarious. Until I turned around and saw my dad. He was not amused. We didn’t do that anymore.

I was fishing for white bass, fishing that Pop-R pretty aggressively.  There were 2-3 gulls that kept trying to drop out of the sky and catch the lure.  I kept trying to keep it away from them.  That one gull outfoxed me.  Once caught, it settled to the water and was quite calm while I reeled him in and unwedged the hook.  The hook came out easily, either the point wasn't even buried, or certainly not past the barb.

Dang Photobucket watermark.  Good site until they sold to someone else, who then changed everything and wanted to charge money for what was previously free.  Years back...but apparently I'm still not over it.

Me either. I almost made a rudeass comment about it but it was only because I hate them so much.

I fixed the pictures that had the Photobucket watermarks, I believe.

I took this picture because I couldn't figure out what I was seeing.  Typically, rays fan out from behind clouds...with the sun as the source.   Here, the sun was behind me, and the rays were converging towards the opposite horizon.

Glad to have photos back here! 

I love rodeos, and some of the best opportunities for good photos I have found are in the barrel racing. Here's a couple of my favorites from a few years back:

And...if you smile and engage folks, you can get some great people pics:
