Whisper of a Tern
I’ve said before that a photograph doesn’t need to be perfect to be worth enjoying. This soft image of a royal tern (Thalasseus maximus) is a good example. The bird is turning toward me mid‑flight, almost as if it knows I’m trying to catch the moment.
I took the shot while drifting down the Savannah River on a riverboat, with several terns following along behind us. There was something gentle about the way this one broke formation and angled toward me, wings open, light softening everything around it. Imperfect, yes—but full of life.
Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

Beach Ballet
It was hot today in a lot of places, so I thought maybe a beach scene would be cool. 😎🪭
This is a scene from Holly Beach, Louisiana, the birds are various gulls and terns.
I don't post all of the photos that I post here to my Pixels gallery, but I post the photos I like best. Some don't make the cut. I usually wait a couple of days and see how I feel about it then.
