Anne's Sea Gull

Anne, who is a very fine photographer and lives in Finland,

took this picture of a young sea gull last year (2007).

She said the gull is chasing some insects.

She also said that on the day she sent the card, 21 Oct. 2008,

it was grey and rainy in central Finland. She said she was hoping it would get

colder soon so that there would be snow instead of rain. They had

already had snow up north, but in Anne's area, the first snowflakes

begin at the end on October.

This pretty stamp brought Anne's card to me. I like the fish--are they salmon?

Thank you, Anne, for the beautiful card and the nice stamp too!
