SPRING LAKE

As you can already tell I am quite keen on going to the seashore. When I am on holiday that is no exception! This beach is situated in Spring Lake New Jersey and was about an hour away from where I was staying. The day trip was full of fine dining at a beautiful place called The Mill (http://themillnj.com/) walking on the beach and of course some shopping.

The town was very clean with mansions for homes, boutique shops and beautiful white sands. There weren't many people about but the odd few we came across seem to be relaxing. I imagine this town to include a few Desperate Housewife characters and retired millionaires - not bad!

Fluffy

This image was taken by the beach where Seagulls are all over the place. This one (I am told) is only a baby and was actually quite brave as I got really close to it without it flying away. It then ruffled its feathers turned and flew away. I like the movement in the shot as alot of the images of Seagulls I have are just after they have set off so look quite static and posed as they fly.

Let me know what you think of this photo.

Over the Edge

Bird watching is not something I like to do but it seems there are more and more Seagulls around Blackpool every day so its hard not to take their picture. I try and get as close as I can, holding the camera to my eye while walking forward until they fly away. This in-flight shot always looks so good as they really do twist and turn their bodies and wings which is hard to see in real time.
