A wild day at the beach

The whipped wildly all day long. The rain came falling at 4PM. We fed the seagulls at 4:30PM. The wind howled at 30mph.... the rain fell sideways.... the seagulls stayed in one place in the air, head into the wind waiting for their next bite of bread from my finger tips. I would not even get my hand more the a six inches from my body and the bread was stolen away in the yellow beaks of the swooping gray bodies. My wife and kids acting like scared little girls as twenty seagulls hover a mear 12 inches from our heads. I am giddy with laughter and joy and I reach for another piece of bread. With two pieces of bread remaining I reach for the best camera I have... the one that is with me. My trusty camera phone makes the last slices all that much more fun.
