"You are the gull, Jo" | Seattle Portrait Photographer | Evidence of Life Photography

“You are the gull, Jo, 
strong and wild, 
fond of the storm and the wind, 
flying far out to sea, 
and happy all alone.”
- Louisa May Alcott


Top Ten, 2015, Fantastically Flawed - "You are the Gull" Challenge
This is a favorite photo of mine.  I love how this precious toddler reminds me of a gull perched at the edge of the sea. I have a strong emotional attachment to it, but was never sure if others would see it as I do. I am so enthralled to have it featured in the top ten on  Fantastically Flawed this week. I hope others find as much joy in this photograph as I do.
