Seas 'n Trees... blues 'n greens...


Because the Natural World is Awesome...


New images mostly every day, fresh from Virginia Beach... featuring Sunrises and the Magic that happens where the Sky, the Surf, and the Sand collide and mix into that Mystical State we call the Beach...
So, sit back and enjoy the view... although all the Elements are the same, they mix in entirely different and exciting ways every day... if you can't actually be on the Beach, I'll show you how it was...

Sunrise for the Birds, 1.7.12, 48th Street, VB

The gulls are out looking for an early breakfast, trying to take advantage of small bait fish which often rise to the surface during the night to day light transition...



 This guy kept looking at me like i was going to toss him some Cheetos or similar crap...
It's a shame that the tourons here think it's cool to feed the local gulls all sorts of junkfood to attract a swarm of them... Seabirds have evolved to take advantage of a high-protein seafood diet and can become undernourished on a diet high in junkfood, making them feel full, but not supplying what they need... In the wild, a stressed animal becomes more likely to be caught and eaten by a predator, so you are not doing these guys any favors by tossing them a handful of chips...


 A raft of ducks paddled by, but now, as the light grows, they feel confident to take off and continue their southward journey by air...
 A pair of Pelicans also head south, flying low to spot small fish they can dive on and catch...
