I went for my usual walk late this afternoon, and took a detour through the beach where we have our Tuesday coffee and donuts. There was a tree I wanted to photograph against a clearing sky, and after I did that I continued walking in the sand. Suddenly a group of a dozen seagulls descended from above me and several of them passed by me in flight, very close. I couldn't believe how close this one came to me, so I quickly got off 3 shots as it passed. I love the beauty of birds in flight - perfect, efficient, beautiful aerodynamic beings! I didn't need a telephoto lens for this one because it was so close. The beauty of the photograph is also enhanced because of the gray clouds above, with faint hints of blue.

A beautiful photo. Reminds me of Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Russell would be so proud!”
Thanks, Ron! Seagulls are such beautiful birds, and so gorgeous in flight.
