I spotted this cheeky chappie whilst strolling the Liffey Boardwalk one sunny afternoon recently. There's a distinct air of the poseur about him (assuming the gender is male, of course, for it could equally be a she that we see here strutting and preening so defiantly) not to mention a certain haughtiness, too. How calmly the bird seems to observe me, a mere man going about the business of amateur photography. The one word that leaps to mind now, looking at the shot at several weeks remove, is:
insouciant, that is to say,
casually unconcerned. When next I need a new short story title,
"The Insouciant Seagull" doesn't sound half bad.
With humbleness,
Brian:-)
