Along the rugged shoreline at Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, two gulls pause above the Pacific. One seems ready to wander, while the other keeps a watchful eye on the water—each taking in the coast in its own way.
I love how the soft gray-blue sea and weathered rocks set the scene for this small wildlife moment. Point Lobos, near Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, always offers something worth slowing down to notice.
Which gull do you relate to today—the one on the move or the one taking it all in?
