This little funny guy spent several minutes repeating a strange sequence of actions
The seagull went on a rock  and from there looked down at the waves.
When a bigger waves was about to reach the rock, the seagull took off.
I thought “it will fly away, on a bigger rock”.
No, the seagull waited for the wave to calm down and then the seagull got back on the rock.
These actions have been repeated at least 3-5 times per rock, for a total of 5 rocks (then I had to leave).
I wonder if the seagull was looking for a peaceful place or if he was playing or exercising his reflexes… or all the things together.

Update: i’ve been told that this might not be a seagull, actually I wasn’t sure too, thus till someone won’t tell me what is this bird I’ll just call it an UFO or UFB. ^_^

The webmaster brought his camera too, but didn’t use it… weirdness #1… but he is the webmaster, probably he is not supposed to carry a camera to use it… he probably just stands pictures world to stay with me. How lovely is women power!

We were in a status of “lack of imagination” (Weirdness #2). Therefore we went to Catania port seeking seagulls. Actually I wished that Mt Etna were clouds free… wished, indeed. It had a big annoying hat of clouds! That’s not weird, at least.

I tried to take some seagulls pictures, but nothing of “wow” and MANY of them out of focus. Weirdness #3.

Soon later we saw an animal that the webmaster and a policemen (who will take part to this “Weirdness dance” in a few line) told me it’s a “Cormorano” (Cormorant?).

I don’t know if it’s true, both of them probably knows about animals as much as I know about Japanese language…

I took 3 pictures of this lovely, weird, big and black animal but in all of the 3 pictures the beak is out of focus, burned or blurred. Weirdness #4…
I was trying to get closer to it

in order to get a better shot but… I probably moved in a port area that for some weird reason I wasn’t allowed to walk in… weirdness #5 because there were no signal that said “Stop”. I mean, I guess I can read and see and there was nothing…

Despite the lack of advices, my terrible, awful and dangerous presence made 2 policemen get worried and come saying me that I couldn’t walk there… actually, I’m pretty sure they didn’t see me (small size, moving fast) but the webmaster loves law so much that stood in front of the police station door… I tried to explain why I was there but gave up because the only answer I received was: “Don’t walk there, you can take a picture from here if you wish” ["Here" was 3 meters away from me... A big distance in term of "getting closer to the subject" but probably a really ridiculous difference in term of "law": Weirdness #6].
When the policemen understood  we wanted just to take a picture to that animal said “Oh, the Cormorant, he stays in this area often…”. Weirdness #7 because I’ve seen at least other 2 of that animal in that area… I was going to tell it to the policemen but I gave up and moved away…
I can’t get angry with him, at the end, he was just doing his work (I guess) and probably being a little annoyed to work on Sunday during Christmas time…

But, I couldn’t avoid to feel really annoyed. It’s terrible how someone did an awful use of the camera made other people being always suspicious of other people holding a camera. It’s terrible how people can protect themselves from people like me, whose only interest was to take picture of a bird, and will never be able to protect from really dangerous “photographer”. Weirdness #8.

Sigh Sigh.

Weirdness #9. Usually when I’m stopped by human being in taking pictures of something, the subject (if an animal) moves in a place where I can take a good picture of it… it didn’t happen today.

I tried to take a few other pictures, but I got almost nothing.

It was too late and I had to leave…

In 30 minutes weather turned from sunny to cloudy and rainy. Weirdness #10.

It’s almost 3pm, and I still didn’t have lunch. Weirdness #11.

Do you think I can define today a weird Sunday?

I’m pretty sure that the time I spent there with my boyfriend, taking pictures, will be one of the sweetest and nicest memories. Even among the funniest ones, ’cause last time I went there (10th October 2009) a ship sound scared most of them who started flying away passing on the deck and, the second after I ended saying “Hey! It’s just a ship!”, they started “freeing their stomach” and hit my boyfriend’s hand. Sweetie, he’s a little “monkish” but he didn’t complain that day! ^_^

These are the kind of memories that came up in my mind when I’m in my bed, feeling that pain that makes me a little unable to understand even what I read… these memories come back in my mind and comfort me, make me smile and dreaming of coming back there, again, or in a more beautiful and peaceful place.

I’d just like to love and to take pictures, I know I can do these things.
I’d just like to be able to really leave something of really beautiful on this earth, leave a slice of that real beauty that is unforgettable.

That Beauty, that “makes you homesick” that makes you saying “again, I wanna see it again”… as some people I met on the web said about the shots can be seen here.

But… I need time to do this in the proper way, and  every day I wonder if I’ll ever have that time. (Sorry, cannot keep too quite my daydreamer side )

One of the pictures I’ve taken the 10th October 2009, in order to solve a “minor problem” ;D

What can I do?
Close my eyes, start thinking about something pleasant? When and where I felt well, why did I felt so?
Yeah, cool! Many times it works… or, if I am not able to do this with just my mind, I turn on the computer as soon as I can and start jumping all around my pictures…

Today I stopped on this:

There has been no way to stop smiling and thanking.

Yeah, yeah. I am supposed to tell you something about this picture, about what was happening when I was taking it… but, the truth is that I can remember only that I was pleased and glad and “feeling free”. Nothing important for this world but exactly what I was seeking for today!

At the moment I can just say that I had the chance, quite unplanned, to take this shot…  Unplanned because when I took this picture I couldn’t see so many seagulls… but they were, amazingly, there. I just had to way to see there.

Now, seems like I just have to wait, to wait to see what is amazing in this life because I know there is something of amazing, because I have seen its sign before.

Or I can start telling me lies as: “it’s not important if you can like what you do, most of this life is just awful and you just have to keep on going ahead”…

I don’t like lies. Do you?
