Soft White Underbelly


This is the underside of a seagull.

You see, there's a small skylight in our third-floor ceiling. It's obviously not original, but it's nice and it brings light to a much-needed area. It's also flat, which makes it a nice perch for the local seagulls. You can probably tell from the condition of the glass that it's a well-used hangout.

The seagulls perch here all the time. And they squawk. It's a little weird at first, because you don't always know where the sound is coming from, and it's no one's first impulse to look straight up. After awhile you get used to it, and we and the the gulls have learned to accommodate each other. I don't eat their garbage and they don't eat mine.
