One photo every day: Naurulokki :: Black headed gull (339/365)

in #onephotoeveryday6 years ago (edited)

Hi!

I was picking up Miro from school, and he wanted to go to the Pikku-Vesijärvi Park to see a water fountain. So we did.

Miro was over joyed because he met a couple of dogs whose breeds he happened to love; a Pug, and a huge Boxer, that after being thrown sticks to fetch by Miro, brought forth a thick, 3 meter tree branch and I guess he wanted Miro to throw that for him to fetch too.

Ahum, but I digress... here's the photo for today:


Chroicocephalus/Larus ridibundus

Yeah, I think I must have shown you one of these already... But I thought this one was a pretty good shot, anyway.

See you tomorrow!

I miss the days when you gave like immense upvotes, ehhh... That was a fantastic time to become rich and buy a lambo...
But no, life is not that easy. Ehh... So sad.
Birdy understands what I mean, you can see it in her eyes.

Yea, I guess it's about maths... There are so many more people to upvote, so I need to spread the upvote gravy much more thinly now. Oh, and yes, delegations take a fair share of voting power away. On the other hand I'm hoping for other people to start upvoting each others' comments too because it's really about the nicest thing one can do on Steem.

Nah no upvoting other people comments, cause I can only upvote 10 friends posts per day (Which 2-4 are yours lmao... so no place for comments heh).

Oi... no slider?

Nope, I'm not powering up, just putting everything in savings (No reason for powering up, I can double on spikes at any time on exchange).
It doesn't rape the reward pool for upvoting and also you get more returns.

That slider helps me a lot with upvoting comments! It's the best thing ever! I can fully upvote the daily posts and do a 50% for comments and have enough power on the next day! The idea of waiting for a pump and flip is not bad but I do have enough other crypto to wait on as is.. :)

You can always use slider on busy.org if you need btw... so it's fine :D
I just want to use upvotes for creators, not commenters (Since I'm commenting on their posts).

It's up to everybody to decide what they upvote.

I'd like to point out, however, that commenting can add a lot of value to a post particularly if the content of a post merits further discussion.

Have you made any profit yet? The general trend since the beginning of last month has been up. In order to profit from spikes, you have to know the price movements in advance. Trading takes a lot of time and attention and is quite stressful. You can easily blow all your profits away in one bad deal.

Can't tell about my profits or funds, have to remain humble and not draw too much attention. You know I'm a very humble man!))

Agreed!!! What better way to spread the love than to upvote comments within the blog! I love doing that!

Tip!

I fully agree!

These photos look better and better! How did that dog lift that big branch in the first place.. Sounds like it would be tough for the dog to carry even if Miro could fetch it.. hehe

Thanks! I think I've improved a bit too, these days I am able to pull an almost finished shot from the camera and do only minimal editing where as I used to have to push the exposure up two stops, if not three at times.

(I still do that, but not as much.)

Boxers seem to be pretty strong.

oh, you're also a photographer, not just a gamer? cool, I'll have to check out more of your stuff then :-)

Yes, more a photographer these days. I used to play a lot, but since I got into the family business my time became very limited for gaming. I still keep buying games, in the hopes that I could play them some day. :)

By family business @gamer00 means raising a family, not a business owned by his (extended) family or something.

Yeah, it is really a good shot because it looks really good like a painting and not a snapshot.

Oh wow, what a beautiful bird and amazing shot! The water too, has such deep blue color!

Oh... I think the blue you see in the water could be the sky, as our lakes are quite dark because there is rarely a sandy bottom for the light to reflect from, instead there may often be mud and some vegetation.

hahahhaha..lol
I do not think you're good at jokes, why not just throw a tree? hahah

No, not a joke! The dog really seemed to want Miro to throw him that huge branch instead of those tiny little sticks.

I misunderstood, I thought you were a joke.
how old is Miro?
is he still flu?

Miro is 7 and his older brother Leo who is 12 had some kind of stomach flu or other vomiting disease for a day or two. He's ok now and going to school tomorrow.

you have 2 sons?
hopefully he can quickly return in his cheerful days.

Yep, 2 sons, and one cute puppy, and a brightly coloured snake too. :) These are all our children. :)

I think Leo'll be ok tomorrow.

I am amused to hear snakes ,, hihi
imagine the scales.

That picture looks like an anime, toooo rich in awesomeness and clarity

Is the fountain working again? I vaguely remember it being under maintenance a week or so ago. I did make a post about it being maintained over a month ago but they may have had to empty it another time because of a problem.

Yep, in full action!

That one is a full daredevil lol

chroicocephalus ridibundus or black headed gull you captured into impressive photography. you are a talented nature photographer. @gamer00

@resteemia

He reflects rather nicely and honestly, he is so deadpan looking, he looks fake! Although, I know he is not!
