Jonathan: I want to fly where no seagull has flow before. I want to know what there is to know about life! Father, Mother: Son, this may not be the best life, but it's all we know.
Jonathan: There's got to be more to life than fighting for fish heads!
~ Jonathan Livingston Seagull
bel référence a un superbe film culte
ReplyDeleteI wish I could fly. I mean to just walk off the end of the front porch and fly away would be different for me and then realize it isn't a dream. Wow.
ReplyDeleteIf life is only 'fishheads' then I say savor the fishheads.
ReplyDeleteI read that book 40+ years ago. I do love to watch seagulls, I think they're fascinating.
ReplyDeleteMagnifique compostion, Jilly. In my area they are destroying seegulls and I hate the idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSmart man, Jonathan! :)
ReplyDeleteRefreshing picture today, Jilly. Thanks!
Jonathan is so right...there has got to be more to life than fishheads! I applaud his spirit to fly! That dark red umbrella makes a very bold statement!
ReplyDeleteThe collapsed umbrella zips up the photo with its red colour. Gosh! Haven't thought about JLS for YEARS. I'm going to have to google Amazon to see the year of publication.
ReplyDeleteYa, like ducking seagull crap falling from the sky! Ha!
ReplyDeleteyou are dating yourself with that reference! LOL I love that book!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the birds.

Fun! If memory serves, Jonathan soared off into the wild blue to discover his destiny and answer his questions.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about dating yourself. It was a timeless book! -:))
That's beautiful, Jilly, both the photos and the reference to Jonathan Livingston Seagull, too. I love the music to that film by Neil Diamond.
ReplyDeleteGreat words!
ReplyDeleteAnd the bottom photo is a surprise as it is unclear what the man is up to. Feeding the birds ?
He's got a camera in his hand, Nathalie. Guess it's too small to see.
ReplyDeleteA lot of gulls here, I had my trouble with a single one...
ReplyDeletebeau contraste entre le parasol et le ciel
ReplyDeleteLove both photos!!! And Jonathan Livingston!!! I think of him whenever I'm around flocks of seagulls...I guess that's dating me!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ! So colored !
ReplyDeleteTher man on the bottom pictures seems to be a conductor and in the sky, the ballet.....
