"Eventide"
Just before sunset last night. A snowy egret and a seagull grace my town's public boat ramp in search of a meal at low tide. Behind the grass strip is a large salt pond surrounded by summer cottages and year-round homes. The area is "Ocean Grove", 5 minutes from my home.
"eventide": the latter part of the day (the period of decreasing daylight from late afternoon until nightfall)

Very beautiful shot, Rob. I love the way the last rays are giving everything a gold sheen. The reflection is fabulous, and the gulls seem to be resting from their work. This inspires one to slow down and take in the beautiful work of the Master.
