If capturing the graceful drift, or the precarious balance, of a lone seagull on the shoreline were the most stringent ambitions of the day, then it was successful.
   Through several days I managed to break the pattern of urban living I have been living in. A weekend getaway, perhaps not long enough, was just enough to clear my head.
   My camera captured the moments I required.
   I was grateful for the experience.
   I only had to be there.
