Arch Rock

Squawk Squawk
We were attached by seagulls while on Mackinac Island. I’m pretty sure we were not feeding them, but we may have had food out. I’m not sure how I concocted the camera settings used. I’m guessing they were from taking pictures of something else the night before and I just… Continue reading
