Alfred Hitchcock Presents....
10 May 2001 | ||

| As soon as you stepped away for a second from your breakfast.... these little green birds came and descended down and went especially for the butter.... Also they loved scrambled eggs, which spooked me out... Cannibals! | ||
Cloud of Seagulls
24 February 2002 | ||

Seagulls in the Sunset
18 January 2003 | ||
 |
||
| So one week later, it's full moon... The tide was far, far out... Tide pools with birds everywhere and the sun setting in front of it... Perfect... Too bad this photo has lots of flaws on it (focus and level), otherwise it could be a classic. | ||
LAX golden in the sunset....
18 January 2003 | ||
 |
||
| When you are at the Malibu state park at sunset, don't miss looking to the other side... Just before the sun sets, the light will reflect off the skyscrapers in the city and the light will shine over.... | ||
