Had a hard time deciding - People or Animals

I was out shooting this afternoon, looking for inspiration. There was a whole flock of Seagulls on the ground I think trying to stay warm as it was cold and very windy. For lack of anything better, I started shooting the birds, thinking sometimes it's kinda cool to see a repetition of a pattern in the image (they were all grouped together). All of a sudden, they all took flight and landed about 20 yards/meters (just for you metrics types:D). I wondered what all the fuss was about as I hadn't moved a bit.
From around the corner of the path you see in these images, this lady arrives. It was obvious to me that the birds knew exactly what was going to happen.
When I got it all home, I had a very difficult time deciding into which forum to post these, the animals/wildlife or the people. After consideration, it became appearant to me that these images weren't about the birds - they were about the relationship between the birds and the lady. OK, I admit it. Sometimes, I'm a little slow on the up-take.:dunno
Hope you enjoy...
The first two are here to provide some context - to give some idea of the number of Seagulls being discussed here.
This one, I believe, shows just how this lady feels about her birds.

I like the last shot. It is nice and spontaneous.
The lack of inspiration is a little bit my problem.
For me, it is worst than for you. You shoot. I don't. A shame.:sick
This doen't happen when I'm abroad. There, I am very inspired and shoot a lot with some quality, I gess.
Go on. Good Heath to you and a good working week.
As for shooting to find inspiration - I once heard/read a story about a famous author (Hemmingway?). As it was related to me, the author would often encounter writter's block. He said that only way he could over-come the writer's block was to write. I just extend the analogy to photography. I may not produce anything worth while, but I'm getting out of the house, giving inspiration a chance to find me.
