The clouds cleared briefly yesterday morning and we got a hint of the summer 
on Cape Cod in the clarity of the air, glints on the water, and strong sun.

Both were taken with the GF-1 and 7-14mm zoom at 7mm.  This lens looks 
really good a this focal length and shows no tendency to vignette.  I added 
a bit of vignetting to the first picture in processing.   The first shot is 
uncropped; the second one slightly cropped.  

You've seen this one-footed gull before.  He's quite tame but not quite tame 
enough to eat from a hand.  This was also taken at 7mm but is a tight (100%) 
crop from the center of the frame.  I was only about four feet from the 
gull.  I did not use any sharpening in processing the RAW file.  The clouds 
were back by this time and I increased contrast a bit to liven the shot.
