What a beautiful panoramic view of the beach Judy. What a gathering of birds and the blue sky and ocean are wonderful.

@Marion: Ohhhhhh, if we only lived closer, I'd be down there ALL the time!
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada

Mandy Provan from Johannesburg, South Africa
Awesome panorama of the Beach Judy!!1 I love your composition in this shot it is brilliant. The whole scene is very relaxing!

@Mandy Provan: If only ......... you know how that goes .......... the whole thing some 3,872 pixels plus is truly dramatic. This image is cropped or else you wouldn't see the birds at all.
@Evi: I agree, Evi, it is beautiful.
Betty from New Jersey, United States
Beautiful, Judy, absolutely beautiful. I could sit there all day and watch the birds! Great shot.

MJ from Delaware, United States
great shot of a beautiful place.... I am checking to see if I see my daughter.HAHA.....she goes there often too
27 Jun 2008 5:30pm
@MJ: Gee, I don't think I can find her in this shot. If she lives close enough to go there "often" - I'm a bit envious, though I know that's not a good trait! ;D
tyan from Singapore, Singapore
ah yes,lots of company for them too:) just curious,is the beach very dirty from all their droppings?

@tyan: That sandbar that they're on probably is dirty, but when the tide comes in, it's all flushed away into the Gulf of Mexico.
Chris from South Jersey, United States
Very nice and peaceful shot - love the expanse of sand and the beautiful color of the water......
27 Jun 2008 7:55pm
@Chris: Thanks, Chris ... it was very peaceful there, except for the distant sound of the birds, but even that was soothing in a strange sort of way.
