I started out as an artist, became a pilot, and ended up where I am now: nature photographer and educator. Being a pilot allowed me to observe the Earth and humanity’s impact on it from 30,000 feet for many years. It allowed me to experience different cultures and to see the world through many lenses.

    Fantastic capture

  • Thank you Kathy…I had great fun watching these two trying to establish boundaries…in time, the seagull was able to snatch a piece of fish and fly off :-)

    AWESOME!!! That’s a brave gull to do something like that.

  • Hello Howard,
    Thank you for the very kind words and for adding this image to your favorites…the seagull was very agile and, in time, was rewarded for its bravery with a piece of fish…the osprey kinda gave up and let it have something just so it would go away :-)
