Softly rippling light
Winged shadow rests on water
Gentle Zen moment

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)

As you immerse yourself in it, it really becomes a zen moment. Beautiful as usual.
Fantastic shot!
The seagull morphs into a rubber ducky in shadow!
I couldn't agree more, Gemma, the perfect zen moment! It does impart such a sense of peace! Hope your weekend is going well! Thanks for the beauty!

He looks as if he is being a bit introspective here. Standing on the wet sand as his feet sink slowly into the muck, he appears to not be in any hurry. Maybe the bird will hang around until the next tide or wave arrives, whichever comes first. The beach is a place to contemplate...
Seagull plodding through the sand,
Which is better: sea or land?
Were I you and had a choice,
I would raise my screeching voice
To elect the endless sky
And be free to fly and fly.

Shattered Shadow Shot
It didn't run away from you! Ah...perhaps it thought that you had a parcel of food for it.
Great shot.
I just want to bury my toes in that wonderful sand n surf, bet it's still quite cool though...I love the little ringlets from water droplets, so delicate!
Thought I'd better get to posting to you before I sat in that easy chair, you know what that brings...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...that's right! Just got home from work and would've loved to work a bit outside, such a beautiful day here in Iowa, though only 55 degrees, it's still better than 25...ha!
Had herds of dogs to do this past week, didn't get much accomplished, but tomorrow brings the sun again, so I'll be out again, bright and early into the studio finishing projects...can't wait! Sunday is usually the only full day I can work, the week is so cut up, if I don't get an early start, I usually get sidetracked...like going for an early morning drive with the heathen, it makes for a good start to the day, as the Autumn photos are stunning and no one is out on the road that early, though the horrible winds we had last week nearly took all of the leafy splendor with them.
Hope you're getting some easy time too, at least getting to the beach, that's all it would take for me...I long for the smell of the surf, especially when the snows are flyin' here.
Have a wonderful week ahead dear sister and know that I think of you often...smooch!!!

It is a gentle moment. I like the gull shadow and the little ripple shadows also.
What a great shot, very calm and relaxing.
Great shot! It almost looks like the gull is testing the water!
Have agreat Hallowe'en!
Great ShadowShot! You're photos are so professional looking. Hope you're having a great weekend.
Gorgeous shot!

Those thin thin legs barely cast a shadow! How do they balance on them?
I'm very much enjoying this zen moment. Ohm.........
Lovely photo and poem Gemma. Also the 'footprints' photo in the post above is magic!
With the weekend nearly over already, I hope you have a super week ahead :)

Beautiful, restful picture. I could look at it all day and imagine my toes in the water. Wonderful to get birds to pose for you!!

Do you ever wonder if a bird is aware of his/her shadow on the beach???
