"Seagull enjoying a nice spring day"

The following is photographer Robert Schwarztrauber's story behind the image: "The temperatures are rising here and spring is in the air. I was out to get photos of the ice on Lake Erie flowing into the Niagara River but wasn't having much success. I did however find this seagull, enjoying a bit of relaxation in the warm rays of sun. He really gave life to an otherwise pretty but static scene of the waterfront."     --Robert Schwarztrauber More of Robert's wonderful photos and new tips on photography can be found in his blog at www.totalfitnessphotography.com.     Comment on today's picture  |  View previous "Pictures Of The Day"  |  Submit a photo Why I publish the "Picture Of The Day"
