Lone Black Skimmer on a foggy Gulf shoreLone Black Skimmer on a foggy Gulf shore – Nikon D200, handheld, f5.6, 1/1250, ISO 250, Nikkor 80-400mm VR at 270mm, natural light

Whenever I view this photo of a lone Black Skimmer in flight on a foggy Gulf shore I feel a wave of joy and peaceful feelings wash over me. I can almost hear the muffled sounds of the waves meeting the shoreline, the barking yip call of the skimmer and the taste of salt in the air every time I look at this image.

I wanted to share that joy and peace this morning.

Life is good.
