Above The Fray

Spring Break, collegiate-style, Clearwater Beach, Florida. This gull is perches serenely above the beach tumult.

Actually, my telephoto made it seem busier than it really was, although this section of beach was hopping. I just love it when stuff lines up. :)

Thanks for your nice comments about my pelican from yesterday. Thanks, too, for taking time to visit.

Great colors but glad I was there a month ago! Love the umbrellas!

[Taffy]

This is fabulous, including the line of the blue umbrellas, that aloof gull, and the crowds. Telephoto was perfect for this!

Wow looks like summer .... Love the POV of the umbrellas

[Louise & Ken]

WOW! Love the umbrella line, but would want to avoid the crowds! It's lovely and uncrowded here near Santa Barbara!

That sure is one crowded beach. Great shot with the seagull perched on an umbrella.

Love the busy, colourful scene, but it is the incongruity of the gull that makes the shot.

I just like the colors and busyness of this image. It's so candid and it makes me want to be in the middle of everything.
