Snowgulls

A Lakemichiblog first! This photo was NOT taken from the same location as all the others. I'm out of the office this week, and the first day away coincided, coincidentally, with the first noticable snowfall of the year. So I felt I had to take a picture. I stopped in at a local park, and tried to get a good angle. The first few pics were dull: gray water and sky, hazy and overcast. But then some chilly seagulls obliged to stand and huddle up within camera view. They're a little fuzzy here, but you can see two on the jutting rock, and then one off to the right. They look COLD! And it's only beginning, little gulls, this is no kind of cold. The worst (or from the perspective of someone looking for dramatic ice formations, the best) is yet to come!
