Silver Gull Landing

Thalasseus bergii

Watching the Other Land
At least, that’s how it appears to me. This is my submission into Leanne Cole‘s “Monochrome Madness” for this week. Participating is pretty straightforward and something I recommend. If you do, then include the tag “monochrome-madness” in your post. If not … Continue reading
