You know how I love the Golden Gate right? I actually like bridges in general but this bridge I can’t help but be drawn to. There are so many angles you can take this bridge from that I think it’s almost endless. The day I was out here with a friend from Colorado there wasn’t a breath of wind! It was incredible!
This little guy was begging for his photo to be taken….or maybe it was food he was after. 😉

What a great background! He or she gave you its best side for its portrait. 🙂 I never tire of this bridge either. I love the warmth in this image too.

Thank you! The seagull definitely was cooperative wasn’t it. 🙂 The light was actually really difficult and I pulled it out in LR. Gotta love shooting raw!
November 13, 2016 at 7:30 am
Copy that! 🙂
November 11, 2016 at 8:51 pm
Very nice.
November 12, 2016 at 6:43 am
Thank you. 🙂

I’ve seen many pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge (almost as many as those of Table Mountain in Cape Town but I haven’t seen the bridge pictures from down under? Isn’t that a challenge for you Laura??? ❤ 😉
November 12, 2016 at 6:43 am
Oh you know it is Herman. I was only down there for a minute or two though. 😉

😀 😀 😀 When I was in San Francisco 20 odd yrs ago I did not have time. Regret it very much…
November 12, 2016 at 12:43 pm
Let me know if you come back!
November 12, 2016 at 8:30 pm
Of course!!! and then we can go together if you want!!! 😀 😀 😀
November 12, 2016 at 9:00 pm
Sounds like a plan!
November 12, 2016 at 10:08 pm
😀 😀 😀

Maybe that little bird was a bit of a preener and just loves having his photos taken 😉 Very well done, very soft and warm overall. That is lovely to hear that there was no wind by the water when you walked past. Very pleasant 🙂
November 12, 2016 at 6:45 am
I think you’re right…he’s a bit of a ham. (Another saying for you Mabel.) I’ve not noticed until now that I seem to use a lot of them! Thank you as always for your comments. 🙂

What a poser. Must be the brother or sister of the one I posted last week. But my bridge is definitely smaller and unknown to most people. Gorgeous photograph, Laura and technically perfect. Love it! Smiles. Reinhold
November 12, 2016 at 6:49 am
Oh! I just saw your bird in fact. Loved that image! I’m so glad you like this one. I was excited when I saw him sitting there. He was preening for awhile and I kept waiting. He finally decided to check me out. Thank you for your kind comment. 🙂

I love that bridge, I used to take it everyday, now I take its poor cousin the Richmond San Rafael everyday
November 12, 2016 at 6:50 am
Me too Juan. I like the poor cousin too though. I really want to walk out on the new path. I wish they did Segway tours.
November 12, 2016 at 7:56 am
I walked it once to where it ended, now that’s a walk… it goes for ever!
November 12, 2016 at 12:43 pm
I heard it is 3 miles!
November 12, 2016 at 2:01 pm
I think that’s the bridge alone, I walked from where the path started at IKEA… I did it three times
November 12, 2016 at 8:07 pm
Gotcha. I really want to do it sometime.
November 12, 2016 at 12:43 pm
Oh wait…I’m responding to the wrong thing lol.
November 12, 2016 at 3:21 am
Really great images.
November 12, 2016 at 6:50 am
Thank you! I wondered if you’d like it.
November 12, 2016 at 4:26 am
Wonderful capture, he was posing for you. 🙂
Have a nice weekend!
November 12, 2016 at 6:50 am
Thanks Amy! Indeed! Have a wonderful one as well. 🙂
November 12, 2016 at 6:25 am
That’s a great shot.
November 12, 2016 at 6:51 am
Thanks Mary!

Seagulls aren’t my favorite bird but I like this photo because of the back ground and the bird’s pose.
November 12, 2016 at 6:52 am
I agree. I’ve hardly taken any photos of seagulls. I was hoping for the pelicans that are sometimes on this pier but it worked out well. Thanks as always for your comments!
November 12, 2016 at 6:59 am
Excellent photo of this impressive structure. Love the bird too!
November 12, 2016 at 12:42 pm
Thank you!
November 12, 2016 at 7:15 am
San Francisco is one of my favourite places to visit. Great pictures!
November 12, 2016 at 12:42 pm
Thanks so much GWTC!
November 12, 2016 at 7:39 am
What a calm mood in you photo. Excellent! …great that you took the chance!
November 12, 2016 at 12:42 pm
Thank you Markus!
November 12, 2016 at 8:43 am
He’s a cool dude!
November 12, 2016 at 12:43 pm
He certainly is!
November 12, 2016 at 9:36 am
Loved this image as soon as I saw it.
November 12, 2016 at 12:44 pm
Aw thank you!
November 12, 2016 at 10:53 am
Absolutely beautiful. 😀
November 12, 2016 at 12:44 pm
Thank you Cee. 🙂 He was a cooperative little guy.
November 12, 2016 at 11:21 am
Great shot, Laura! I was there; it’s a beautiful place! 🙂
November 12, 2016 at 12:45 pm
Glad you can relate! Thanks so much for your kind comment. 🙂
November 12, 2016 at 1:26 pm
Boy oh boy that bird just was begging you to take his photo!! Great shot and I yes I really do know how you feel about the Golden Bridge. That is exactly how I feel where I go to take pics, thinking to myself my selection is endless as are the possibilities. Wonderful post, dear friend! ❤
November 12, 2016 at 1:29 pm
Thank you Amy! I was so excited when I saw him there just waiting for me to take his picture. 🙂 A lot of the time there are pelicans here but this little guy was very accommodating. 🙂
November 12, 2016 at 1:59 pm
He really looks like he was posing just for you. LOL Too funny! I know how long it takes to get that camera ready. He was more then accommodating if you aske me. 😉
November 12, 2016 at 8:06 pm
I think he was too! Such a cute little guy. 😉
November 13, 2016 at 3:55 am

Oh haha…that happens to me too. Usually I can figure it out! Thanks for posting the non-auto-corrected version. 🙂
November 13, 2016 at 5:44 pm
this one is really good.
I so like the look in his eye.
November 13, 2016 at 7:41 pm
Thank you! I swear I felt his eyes burning into me! 😉
November 15, 2016 at 12:22 am
