Higher Plane of Existence

Graceful and free in flight, the seagull conjures memories of Richard Bach’s Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

Fantastic. I have a question, since seagulls only eat processed food, cig. butt & beer or soda. How come they don’t throw up? 😉

  Probably for the same reason that I never throw up, consuming all of the above…

In my neck of the woods. people who prefer to have clean cars call gulls “shit-hawks” but I’m always highly fascinated by and envious about how beautifully and effortlessly they fly.

  I agree. They may not be the bird you most want to see with that shining car, but they are beautiful to watch.
