Returning To Earth

This Image was uploaded for the Phoenix Appeal – a group created to help the victims of the horrible bush fires in Austrailia and will be available for purchase on their page.

This little gull reminded me of the book Jonathan Livingston Seagull . It was a favorite of my mother’s and she often quoted it on our many trips to the lake when I was younger.
Here the gull is returning to shore to teach what he has learned to the other’s willing to listen. :)

From the book:
“Jonathan Seagull discovered that boredom and fear and anger are the reasons that a gull’s life is so short, and with these gone from his thoughts, he lived a long fine life indeed.”

Photo taken at Coney Island, NY
