First it was dark, then some glare, wind getting stronger, blah, blah.

Suddenly soft light. Almost perfect for this.

This Ring-billed Gull was on the edge of where sand and surf met.

For a few minutes the scene was as good as I could want.

This common Gull looked like a king for a few moments. How great is that.
Really great!
Photographs before and after we’re not like these at all. Light was great, even if short.
