Windblown

We found a gull nesting area, in our Florida wanderings. Here is a small section of the many gulls, facing towards the wind, into the Gulf of Mexico. All of them faced towards the breeze, hair (feathers?) blown back. Really great.

Moments later, they were gone (tomorrow's posting, if I remember).

Thanks for visiting, as always.

You've conveyed the wind SO clearly in this scene. They look like they're being blow away.

[Marnie]

As @taffy has already said, you've captured the windy conditions very well. Your focus on the nearest gull adds to that feeling.

What a great capture. I think you've found yourself a group of Royal terns here breeding colours. I'm in UK but was fascinated enough to look them up!! Love how you've really got down to their eye level! fav

Great photo... TT well earned. I love terns... arctic terns are my favorite bird as they circumnavigate the globe yearly. You can see them up in the arctic in the summer time.
