Catch Me If You Can

Uploaded: February 10, 2013 | Entered: October 31, 2019 07:25:08

Description

A couple of people, were on the beach earlier, feeding the seagulls.There were so many birds!!!! You can tell by the claw prints, in the sand. After they had left, this little girl came along. She was soooooo excited and started running towards them. It is the only natural response, for young children!!!

Oceanside, California
