Seagull Contemplation on Metaphysics and Spiritual Travel-200

Went out for some more sunrise photos but I couldn't capture the right lighting and fit and then I headed home.

 

Walking up from the beach I turned around and this reminds me of what every photographer suggests ... when you can't find you want in front of you ... turn around!

 

This seagull didn't even attempt to communicate with me but concentrated on what was happening far away: farther away than I could see. Strangely I heard a voice in the breeze about something about Hawaii ...

 

But it didn't matter because I captured the entire scene and now I get to show you what I almost missed if I continued to just look ahead ...

 

Alternate Story:

 

Seaguille awoke from the night before with a chainsaw hangover and realized he had to change the pattern of his life. It was simple. Stay where he was or quit the nocturnal flying and learn to live a normal life.

 

then he looked out across the Salish Sea and realized that the San Juan Islands were just the first step ... he was young, he was proud and Juanita was just down at the next lamp post. They could make a life somewhere, anywhere but here ...

 

When the sun hit sea, he had made his decision. Yes anywhere was different than here ... but he would always wake up with himself ... so he decided to stay, at least for a day.

 

Juanita flew closer and gave him the squawk. He smiled. It was settled. They found a perch on the cliffs and raised 17 broods of young seagulls who all longed to look at the sea ... but they all stayed home because home really is where the heart is ...
