One day I was sitting alone by a beautiful ocean waiting for sun to rise.  Suddenly a couple of seagulls landed in front of me to see if I have food for them.  I did not.  They figured it out, but they stayed and called more of their friends to join.  They stayed in front of me.  Suddenly it dawned on me that they are posing for me!  I took my sketchbook and started to sketch.  The bird that I was sketching would stay without moving until I was done.  It knew when I was done!  So, I started to sketch them one by one.  I sketch 15 pages full of seagulls.  It was as if they were fully aware what I was doing.  When I stopped, there was a sweetest looking little stork standing by my side observing my sketching. I am incredibly thankful for this event.  This has happened before.
