Two seagulls carry bits of something while navigating the Children’s Park fountain.
You might enjoy these fun photos.
Occasionally I walk past the Children’s Park fountain in the early morning, on my way to catch a downtown trolley for work. Even though the fountain is usually off (because of our long drought), birds like to hang out in the fountain’s man-made pond. It’s a sanctuary in the city where birds can easily scavenge human food.
The Martin Luther King Jr. Promenade, which runs parallel to Harbor Drive, passes right over the pond, and when I pause on the path camera in hand, I’m usually rewarded.
These shots were taken shortly after sunrise…
The Children’s Park was the city of San Diego’s gift to kids in 1995.The gently sprinkling fountain was off this morning, and birds were enjoying the early sun.There are many places for birds to perch at the center of the man-made pond.A gull floats over to see if I have food. I’m standing on the Martin Luther King Jr. Promenade, where it passes as a walkway over the blue water.These three ducks are just cruising around the Children’s Park fountain.Off to the side of the fountain, pigeons congregate on the San Diego trolley’s electrical wires.Pigeons swirl in broad circles directly overhead.A graceful seagull patrols the park as day breaks.Photo near the fountain of sunrise and a bird with outstretched wings.
