Description
A lone seagull momentarily escapes the noise of the surf, wind, and its winged competitors by finding a spot to relax in a tidal pool along the Pacific Coast on the Monterey Peninsula. Image = Monterey 17-Mile Drive 030713 231-235 E-P M C1 PSP.jpg.

Yes, there's a lot of spots to relax on that 17-mile drive, but this is much c,loser to the shore, as you have well discovered. I like the lone Cypress Tree, but that's sad. This is much brighter! Thanks for the memories!

This is beautiful Michael. It's beautiful, raw nature. Love the little bird on the shore. L/F
Michael Mazaika replied:
Thanks Eleanor. That's what caught my eye - a lone gull slopping in the water and a lone guy with his camera and tripod. I count it a gift. - Mike

Beautiful shot! I love the lone seagull! l/f!
Michael Mazaika replied:
Thanks, Meg. That's what set this scene out for me - different from most settings where gulls are congregating, just playing around, or competing for a scrap of something. - Mike
