Out to the horizon I see the yellow-orange of the sun dripping such beauty with its glow. Seagulls are soaring. They are free. How I wish that I could be one, flying high in the breeze’s flow. If I were feathery and wee, I could whirl, having so much fun overhead moving to and fro. I would swirl high above the scree, squawking with glee till day was done. Then long shadows would start to grow. On water I’d then gently rock while napping with my happy flock!

Realistic depiction of seagull's life. We have a lake nearby, whenever I go there I watch lots of them doing what you have penned. Great write.

Beautiful hues you convey, Andrea--in realm of orange sun. Well done to capture the tone--in this hard to execute form.
