SeaGulls 2009-2015
I'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't understand the flight of sea gulls until I started watching them take off and land on the beach. I love watching them run down the sand as if it were a runway, then unfold their two part wings, and lift off - finally tucking up their legs like jet landing gear. I try to take a few pictures, and draw the sea gulls from photos taken during our morning walks. Here are some from years past.

We watched this gull fighting with a fish on Martha's Vineyard, and my friend was able to capture several terrific photos with her telephoto lens. I painted it several summers ago from the photo.
