The beach is the ideal place
To heal the fragile spirit

Just a quiet walk by the sea can
Refurbish
An empty soul

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Seagulls in close up

But waiting seagulls
Often
Propose
An alternative piece of
Beach
Entertainment
~
Their graceful
White
Innocence in flight
Can be
Another story
On earth

A seagull is the ultimate
Brazen
Pickpocket

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Seagulls wait in the Dromana coastal carpark

Anywhere
By the sea is
Seagull territory
~
Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ No human space is too sacred for a seagull invasion
~
Waiting
Watching for
Any stray food scraps
Given willingly or
Simply left open for
These thieves on the wing
~
Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Closer still
~
Strange
A seagull face seems
So bland
So expressionless
So snowy white
Masking
Many devious
Dark
Scavenger
Secrets
Within

I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

But without the call of the gull, the sea would indeed be an empty expression. I love their tenacity and will to survive, white feathers blending seamlessly, like porcelain.
Love your ocean shots, so tranquil.

I agree so much with you that being near the sea heals the spirit.
love the poem and your photos!
thanks for dropping by last week. sorry for late response. :)
Great pictures, and your words are so true. And not always discarded food. Sometimes you're still trying to eat it!
What a delightful read. I enjoyed your pictures and words immensely. I too love the beach and what it offers in solace but, I can't say the seagulls have ever bothered me during a trip to the beach. I'm sure by the looks of your picture/ poem that they do. Nice job. Have a good weekend.
Beautifully written, as soothing
as the sea and watching these
graceful creatures, you really
put me right in this scene.
