single gull
empty summer beach
loneliness
Pacific Gulls are often seen alone, especially after breeding has finished and the young ones are granted independence to hang out together or forage alone. This young bird was enjoying one of the last sunsets of our summer down at Ricketts Point.

It does look lonely but the picture is beautiful and the haiku is touching.

Thank you Oneta. I am sure it settled down later with a few others as night closed in.

Thanks Kim. It is very unusual to see just one bird on this stretch of beach in the evening, the photo was taken and the haiku emerged later.

I just meant when I look on the ipad, I can make the picture bigger on my screen. Although if you’ve learned the secret to not being able to zoom an image, I’d love to know it, Denis! Thanks.
