Very nice image of the Ring-billed Gull yesterday Dave. We saw several of them, along with some Herring Gulls on our Great Lakes cruise. Has to be one of the most common gulls, I think.
Here are a couple of photos from the cruise. One of a double rainbow, and one showing how far from the "mother ship" we got on one of our Zodiac excursions.
The forum has been getting a number of new member requests recently, all based in Russia. I believe that they are all bots and not truly someone wanting to join a photo forum. I have been blocking and deleting them. It has been quite a while since we have been bombarded with these bots.

Good capture on the double rainbow Don! I remember only once on a cruise we had to tender. Not a fun way to get to land but an adventure!
Yes the internet is full of thieves. I for one am tired of it.

Stunning double rainbow photo, Don. And the light yellow strip of sky in the one from the Zodiac is beautiful. I can't tell if this photo shows impending bad weather or a welcome clearing after stormy conditions. Either way, it's a fine shot.
BTW, I'm working on a one-question TV trivia quiz that I'll try to have ready soon.

Keep the Russians at bay. It does require someone keepiing an eye out and deleting/blocking. I believe there may be software to help site users sort the riff from that raff but I don't know much more than that it probaly costs money.
