Thank you everyone for the well wishes on my first day at the new job. It went very well. They're a GREAT bunch who laugh and have fun in their work. I've got a lot to learn and am very psyched about it. Sorry I didn't get around to visiting... my brain was in freeze mode!! LOL!! Should be in better shape today.. ;-)

This is another shot from my Qualicum Beach walk. All I did was crop the shot.

I think I am just going to have take time out of my busy schedule and walk Qualicum Beach. Great shot Amy. I am so glad that your first day went well. Wouldn't it be awful to work with a bunch of sad sacks??

Really pleased that your first day went well Amy.
You've captured this bird making a very graceful landing beautifully.

You took him beautifully as he's strolling along, great shot Amy, how are the silly little twits behaving? ;)

I can't get over it. Amy from Nanaimo. The Rocky Mountain girl on the ocean.
The gull seems to be a runway model giving you her best pose.

Landing or taking off, I'm not sure, love the way you've left space for him to move into either way!
