Yesterday, we made our first trip to one of the local beaches. How nice is it to be able to drive 10 minutes and be at the beach?! Sadly, it costs money to go, but since off-peak season just began, it was much cheaper. So we packed our lunch and headed out to enjoy a 75-degree day with not a cloud in the sky.
The beach is on a reservation so there's no commercial nonsense, just unadulterated sand and ocean. The crowd was light and the seagulls were aplenty. The gulls were well-trained in the art of stalking. They would watch and stare at you waiting for a single crumb to drop. Then, if you happen to get up and leave your food unattended, they'll come get it. Don't be fooled into thinking you can just sit it in your bag because they'll come right up and stick their head in to find it. They don't even move when you see them from afar and start yelling at them. But we, Lewises, are too smart for them. We zipped our bag. Ha - take that, birds.
Anyway, here are some pics from our lovely day out.

The birds in Everglades National Park are smart enough to unzip any unattended backpacks or bike saddle bags. Then they'll pull out jackets, etc., looking for food. So beware!
It's true--I've witnessed it! They can also stand on top of alligators and not get eaten. Amazing creatures, those birds.
