flying before the storm

My dear companion
hears the piping call
of gulls
flying before the storm

well trained dog that lies still so nicely and the sand so smooth around him! 🙂

Thanks Helen … we’d just had a long walk on the beach so I think she was more than happy to sit down for a bit 🙂

Nice contrasting colors and lights. The gulls on the first one make all the difference.

Thanks! The light was quite remarkable that day … changing so quickly and dramatic. I agree … the gulls worked beautifully 🙂

I really like the perspective in the last image. Makes me feel as though your companion is about to visit me.

Oh, she's such a sweet redhead. I love the way she looks over her shoulder at the gulls in the first picture. The contrast of her fur and the dark blue of the sky works to well together. Totally love the mood in both pictures, it's dark but also very soft and peaceful. And then, there is a little beach poem as well 🙂
