Description

On a family vacation, near Cozumel, on the Caribbean side of Mexico, my family entertained themselves in the water, or laid about on the beach.

I saw this young girl fascinated by the low flying birds, just asking to be played with.   With glee she would try to catch them, but that is not what the birds had on their mind.*

Taken with my 35mm Nikon L35 AW AF, with a fixed 35mm F2.8 lens, on Kodak 200 Gold negative film, about 2008.  This waterproof camera could go to a depth of 20 feet, and was excellent on the beach or in all kinds of inclement weather.

Feel free to download, just give me photo credit.

*When you feed the birds, they stay around and move slowly so as to not miss your food.  This was what kept the birds circling low on the beach.  This is a photographer's trick used to help keep the birds in focus and in a predictable area of your viewfinder.
