Good morning. 🕊️🕊️🕊️

"Help!
I need somebody
Help!
Not just anybody
Help!
You know I need someone
Help!

When I was younger, so much younger than today
(I never needed)
I never needed anybody's help in any way
(Now...)

But, now these days are gone I'm not so self-assured
(And now I find)
Now I find I've changed my mind
And opened up the doors

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me? ..." - The Beatles

Okay, I couldn't think of a thing to write about this morning, so I went for Help. Help was a favorite song of mine way back then; I was twelve when it was released. Things were different back then. The world population had just reached 3 billion.

Laughing Gull and Wave, Black and White

This is a laughing (Leucophaeus atricilla) that I saw in Gulfport, Mississippi. What really caught my eye is the little boiling wave to the right of the gull.

I don't post all of the photos that I post here to my Pixels gallery, but I post the photos I like best. Some don't make the cut. I usually wait a couple of days and see how I feel about it then.
