While on the beach in Marco Island this past Sunday, this beautiful gull decided to walk behind where we were sitting and pose for me. The lighting was provided by the golden sunset happening just opposite from this scene. I couldn't have planned it any better. Enjoy!

Thank you! I really believe that it was just getting close enough to see if we had any potato chips in our bag. :lol:
