Great pictures. Thnx for sharing them.
You almost had me going there for a minute with that mermaid photo. But when I looked at it closely I realised that it was not actual mermaids but just their shadows.

And the Forgotten Foam.
And the Gull picture was nice.
Oh, Fiddle-dee-dee! I liked them all!
Thanks!
