A Desperate Man


I was desperate.  I had no photographs for today's blog.  At least nothing new.  I was using images from two different exhibits at two different museums and needed something new.  So I grabbed my camera and headed out for my 2.6 mile walk, desperate to find a photograph.  I got to the bottom of Laurel Avenue and saw the clouds and the sunlight over the water, and thought "Well, at least it's something" And I started shooting.  And what to my wondering eyes did appear but some seagulls flying around!  What luck!  I clicked as fast as I could and managed this as the best of maybe 4 photographs with a flying seagull in it!  Whew!  I have something, and so won't let you down.

I think this is a cool photo as the bird is so prominent against the lighter cloudy sky. Great shot!

Today's blog photo might be one of your very best desperate blog shots! Looking forward to seeing more "desperate" photos.

This is a fantastic scene! The bird in flight with the sunset in the background makes for a great photo. Trace

Thank you all for your wonderful comments. Yeah, that bird lifted my desperate attempt at a photograph of the clouds and the harbor into something so much more interesting! Thank you sea gull!
