An Awesome View of Life

When I took this photo I was hoping it would be exactly as I saw it through the lens.  This is another of my favorite photos from vacation. This is Leo or better known as "The Big Kahuna". I loved how he kited downwind from the rest of the kiters.  So the title could also be Sunrise Solitude.  Another photo that is a reminder to be grateful for the simple things, for the beautiful things in life.

This is one of my favorite photos from our most recent stay in Florida.  This young woman had a sunrise routine which consisted of yoga on the beach and wading into the ocean for a quick swim.  As she left the beach she would raise her hand.  I believe she was giving thanks to the Universe for another day. Each sunrise I was grateful for being there on the beach to see such a beautiful gift from the Universe. Gratitude is the key to a happy life.  If you can't be grateful for what you do have you don't deserve anything more.

Morning Surf We had a beautiful sunrise, the wind was up and so was the surf.  It was a breathtaking morning on the beach. This is October 20th's photo.

What we do for the sake of our art... Today is Mother's Day 2014 and instead of sleeping in I decided I should get out of my warm bed and go out and take some pictures as the sun was coming up.  It rained last night and I have wanted to get pictures of dew or rain drenched grass, flowers, etc. Above is the very first photo I took this morning while sitting on the very cold sidewalk.  I'm not sure I have a point that is actually in focus but I love it anyway. Just a close up.  It shows a bit more detail of the rain drops and the sunlight is perfect. This is the same bush from earlier in the week when there were only gray skies.  The color is so different with the morning sunlight.  And the texture is almost fuzzy, out of focus because of the moisture on the leaves.  And then there is all the spider webs.  (: By now my tush is frozen and my feet are soaked but saw this as the sun started to cover the yard. ...

  Sunrise...

  The last one...   I wil not post another snow photo.  I was very busy today and took this early this morning.  It was gorgeous out there but enough is enough.
