“I saw a seagull hanging out by a lake, but I said “Don’t worry Dude. I won’t say anything.””
I think this is a ring-billed gull. I see more of them in the late fall, and they are less afraid than the gulls I usually see in the summer. This one didn't fly away while I was taking pictures. He was also fearless about the cold waves crashing toward him from the lake.

“In wildness is the preservation of the world.”
The deer are not very afraid of me any more. They let me get close or try to scare me away now. Sometimes a mother will screech and stomp her foot at me. I don't hang around when she does! I never get tired of seeing them around our house.
