Description
On a nice sunny afternoon driving along the north shore of Lake McConaughy I found this group of seagulls to wind things down and catch a quick siesta, also known as a quick nap.
It is my belief that in a close group like this, that one or maybe two of the seagulls will not take a nap and stand watch so that they can alert the resting seagulls if danger presents itself via a predator or even a photographer that might seem to be too close for comfort.
Seagulls are very tolerable of humans, but in a napping situation like this, they are somewhat vulnerable, and will welcome an early alert if needed.
I made this photograph along the Sandy Beach area on the north shore of Lake McConaughy in mid November 2014. Lake McConaughy is Nebraska’s largest lake and is located about 12 miles north of Ogallala, Nebraska.
This photograph has had an artistic filter applied to give it qualities unique to the art of painting.
