Gull in Contemplation

The light was dying on the beach and this gull seemed quite lost in its own thoughts despite the dumb looking fellow with the black thingame standing nearby. Yeah I know .. gulls are easy to shoot but I am posting this proudly just the same. The light was so nice I was determined not to over brighten the image. Best LARGE

Looking in another direction (extra) we see the aftermath of some major bucket & spade engineering from early in the day. By the looks of the footprints there must have been about 50 kids helping.
