Friend or Foe?

Marie2 Comments

When I captured this photo of two seagulls on the pier in Oceanside, CA my focus was on the view inside the lens. At the time I didn’t put much thought into what the birds were doing or how they were interacting. Now, after looking at their eyes and analyzing their stance and posture, I wonder if these birds were greeting each or their or telling each other to “go away”. Are they friends or foes, rivals for obtaining a specific goal, or just two birds sharing the rocky coast of the beautiful ocean below?  Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts!

Sometimes when you are on the edge of great things, what lies below appears frightening. Exciting is rarely calm and great is never easy. Often the turbulence is the simply the face of fear blocking the calm that lies beneath.
