Where the Gulls Gather

Where the Gulls Gather

This photograph was taken at Holly Beach, Louisiana, along the Gulf of Mexico. The upper two-thirds of the frame is awash in blue-tinted ocean, while the lower edge meets a stretch of brown, wave-worn sand. Swells roll in toward the shore, cresting into foamy white waves that spill over and leave behind scattered tide pools. On the beach, a gathering of roughly 40 shorebirds congregates at the water’s edge. Among them are various species—gulls, terns, sanderlings, and a few I couldn’t identify. Most stand quietly along the surf, but a handful lift into the air, winging low over their companions.

My photo gallery features over 1300 carefully selected images. While most are chosen for their visual appeal, a few stand out as novelty shots. Feel free to explore my gallery at:
