A PANHANDLING SEAGULL--

and a chilly girl friend

The seagull maintained a wary presence on this deck railing as it pressed its luck on finding a morsel of food from nearby restaurant guests.

That's Sue (right) during lunch at Waldo's seaside restaurant on a sunny but windy and chilly day recently.  Waldo's is part of the Driftwood complex featured on the blog in mid January.

While we have an occasional chilly day, snowbirds usually are grateful when we see hometown weather reports this time of year.

A not-so-balmy 60 degrees in Vero Beach always trumps temps in the middle teens back home as were reported on this day.
