6-Word Photo Story Summer Challenge

Hungry scavengers glide above shimmering waves.

A warm summer’s day brought my husband and me on a stroll along the boardwalk to take in the lake and all its beauty. As the ducks were dipping their heads beneath the water’s surface and swans were floating by, the seagulls were enjoying slices of bread cast into the air by a group of tourists.

While the water soothed with the sound of gentle waves, the air was filled with the seagulls' cries and children’s giggles.

What a glorious way to witness nature at its very best.
