Today Matt had the day off so we took the kids and just went out. We do that sometimes. We drove and drove and ended up in Navarre, about 30-45 minutes away. We stop in a beach parking lot and I Figure my picture today will just be the angry storm clouds over the unsettled water. Sounds good, right? Well, this is a prime example of how fun this 365 project is and how thankful I am I always have my camera.

We are just about to leave and I see this little guy sitting. Or laying down, whatever you call it when ducks aren't standing. All of the other gulls are up milling around, so I told Matt to snap a picture of this guy. Then, he stands up. And he only has one leg. I am not kidding. I took like 10 pictures because I wanted to make sure I had enough proof. I even got really close. This wasn't even on zoom. Now, I giggled and really thought this little guy was cool. For some reason, I didn't feel sorry for him. He has adapted to what he does. He obviously isn't wanting for food, he was surrounded by gull "friends," and he lives ON THE BEACH! I think this may be my inspiration picture for a lot of things. Just look at this guy.

Ok, I might be overdoing it. But seriously.
