I have always found a special connection to the beach. For me, seagulls represent that connection even miles from the shoreline. Seagulls have also become a spiritual symbol for me. For many years, a seagull has always seemed to appear whenever I am struggling with issues in my life. To me, it is God's way of letting me know that He is there and that things will be ok.

There are dozens of varieties of seagulls. Pictured below are some of those that are less common or unusual in their appearance. Enjoy!
