  1. Good morning. 🕊️🕊️🕊️

    24 October 2024

    "Help!
    I need somebody
    Help!
    Not just anybody
    Help!
    You know I need someone
    Help!

    When I was younger, so much younger than today
    (I never needed)
    I never needed anybody's help in any way
    (Now...)

    But, now these days are gone I'm not so self-assured
    (And now I find)
    Now I find I've changed my mind
    And opened up the doors

    Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
    And I do appreciate you being 'round
    Help me get my feet back on the ground
    Won't you please, please help me? ..." - The Beatles

    Okay, I couldn't think of a thing to write about this morning, so I went for Help. Help was a favorite song of mine way back then; I was twelve when it was released. Things were different back then. The world population had just reached 3 billion.

  2. Laughing Gull and Wave, Black and White

    This is a laughing (Leucophaeus atricilla) that I saw in Gulfport, Mississippi. What really caught my eye is the little boiling wave to the right of the gull.

    I don't post all of the photos that I post here to my Pixels gallery, but I post the photos I like best. Some don't make the cut. I usually wait a couple of days and see how I feel about it then.
