this photo was taken this past spring while visiting gloucester, ma. these seagulls actually helped my group locate and spot a very active humpback whale during her feeding time. the light blue water is the whale blowing bubble under the water so that she can eat. it was quite fascinating to watch. imaginary folk!
as a writer i know the feeling, which is why i took my lead characters from my first novel and put them in another story, and why they are now in a work in progress third story. i love these two. best of luck to you and your characters.
