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’ve got the Summer blues. I am not talking about the sad kind. I am referring to the azure skies and blue aqua tint of the ocean waves of Florida. There is also the deeper blue gray of rain in the distance that tends to come around 5:00 pm each day. I am in Venice right now enjoying the salty air and cooler breezes that provide the only reprieve from the stifling heat. This morning we went out and swam in the choppy swells. The temperature was perfect and the sun was hidden behind the clouds for a few hours. I would apologize for my frequent absences from my blog, marketing and work in general. But I am far from sorry. I’ve worked hard for this and can finally live the life I’ve always envisioned. I am spending as much time as possible at the beach this year. It’s just heavenly…

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….

It’s been a rough few weeks in our home, so yesterday we headed for Siesta Key Beach for some fun in the sun. The day was gorgeous with big fluffy white clouds in a crystal blue backdrop. It was hot, but the nice breeze coming in off of the ocean made it just lovely. I was taken by all of the colorful umbrellas dotting the shoreline. Children played happily in the sand. The smell of coconut suntan lotion filled the air. This was paradise! Within 10 minutes of our arrival, it suddenly got dark. The wind picked up and out of nowhere the heavens opened up! The lifeguards were blowing horns, the rain was stinging our eyes and the wind was blowing miscellaneous bits of Summer everywhere. The sea of humanity running for their lives was unbelievable. There was no way to take a photo at that point as it was sheer chaos. And the rain was heavy. Lightening crackled everywhere. This was seriously dangerous and we ran too! Below is a quick snap I took right before the deluge. A 5 minute wait in the car and it was a return to the picture you see above…..ahhhh Florida in the Summertime!
