When our grandson was little we spent many happy hours in cottages on Lake Michigan. Washington Island in Door County, Wisconsin, was our favorite hangout, and a child's picture book about a seagull was a favorite read. I recently got reacquainted with Shelly, the seagull when we stayed in a cabin on Lake Superior. Too bad our grandson no longer joins us on our lake outings because I know that he, too, would recognize Shelly.

A precious memory from days gone by.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...lovely shot! I somehow feel very bad that your grandson is not with you to take these walks...hmmm...
ReplyDeleteah, children grow up and move on and miss such quiet peaceful moments with their grandparents. Too sad.
ReplyDeleteEven though he is not there.....he has wonderful memories to cherish.
ReplyDeleteShelly certainly could have relatives in Maine.
ReplyDeleteA great looking gull.
ReplyDeleteShelly is beautiful. I am sure your grandson would have been thrilled to see her again.
ReplyDeleteGrandchildren grow up too fast.
ReplyDeleteShelly's looking quite stoic on the rocks!
ReplyDeleteGreat memories of your grandson's younger years. How nice that a seagull can remind you those times.
ReplyDeleteI think Shelly the seagull has some cousins in my area.
ReplyDeleteA great portrait of Shelly!
ReplyDeleteSweet memories seeing the seagull again, nice photo too.
ReplyDeleteshelly is pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteShe likes to feel the spray of the water on her face.
ReplyDeleteShelly gets around. I'm pretty sure she has relatives here out west.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm sure he joins you in his heart.
ReplyDeleteYou still have those precious memories, at least!
