Growing up, my Mom always admonished me to “never feed the seagulls!” For one thing they may poop on your head and for another they can become aggressive and come for food that you have not released from your hands yet. Then Alfred Hitchcock came out with the movie “The Birds” which further instilled the idea that these creatures were angry little monsters. The truth is that I have been around these beauties of the beach my whole life and I have never been attacked. Yes, I have fed them (shhhhh….don’t tell Mom!). I find them to be shy and aloof most of the time. To photograph them, you have to be quiet and move gently. It is true that they will swarm for food, but that is just normal animal behavior. In this photographic art piece I try to capture their beauty and gentleness. These two look to be dancing. While they may not be angry after all….they just might drop a bomb on you when you aren’t looking. 😉

I will be busy this week with family and Thanksgiving festivities….went down south today to spend some time with relatives who flew in from Colorado….It was a little chilly for a beach day, but this little girl was determined to enjoy herself. She was so caught up in the simple joy of digging in the sand when her parents graciously let me take a few quick snaps….aaaahhhhh I remember….

One of the things I love most about living in Florida is the easy access to the most beautiful beaches in the World. I have made Tampa my residence for over 25 years, but Sarasota is my home town and it is where my heart wonders when I need to calm my spirit. It is about an hour drive from my house to Lido Beach and I can tell you it is well worth it. There are closer coastlines, but none can compare to this tropical oasis. It truly is paradise! I recently took my daughter on a getaway to Lido Resort and this is the sunset that kissed us goodnight the first evening. Enjoy!
