@Linerberry: Thanks, Liners. I hope she was. I was worried she might be ill. Couldn't quite figure out why a gull would be sitting on the grass!

@Lorraine: Most gulls are pretty dull-looking, but this one is rather handsome. Must be the green grass. :)

@FLOOG: I have to admit, it was a bit odd seeing this gull just lying about in the grass! I hope it was relaxing!

I've never seen a gull just lying about, like that. Interesting!

@Bookfool: Neither have I, Nancy! I hope it wasn't sick. Maybe it was tired of fighting the wind.
