Morning on the Vineyard
Written before the post went live because I had to process the images...
This morning I woke up early to my alarm. It was 5:30am. I wanted to see the sunrise on the ocean. Growing up in California I only got to see sunsets. I looked out the window and the sun was peeking through some clouds just above the horizon line. By the time I grabbed my camera it was hidden. I didn't even make it downstairs. But there was this fisherman on the end of the jetty and I thought I catch him, but as I came down the stairs he was walking back to his car. So with camera in hand I set out to take some images.
As I stepped on the sandy beach I realized how long it had been since I'd been in sand, particularly on a beach, on an ocean. Yes there are beaches elsewhere, or so I've learned now that I live in South Dakota. There are beaches on lakes. I know it's just not the same. Then I walked to the wet sand a different consistency beneath my feet and then over to the rocks. I found a couple of tide pools full of life. Gosh how I've been away from the water a LONG time.
Now I'm sitting on the porch of this lovely beach house listening to the hum of my typing clash with the sound of the waves on the beach. Technology meets nature. The sun is higher now and the warm oranges and pink of the sunrise are barely visable, but I'm waiting for it to peek through again. A bit higher this time, but still I'm sure it will be lovely.
Here are some images I took while on the beach this cloudy morning.

I like the different angle from which you took the jetty picture. I'm wondering what kind of camera you use?
thank you Joan.
As for the camera, a big black one. Really not to be mean, but it's not about the camera. The camera is just a tool it how the photographer uses it.
Hey I like this pie you baked... what kind of pots and pans do you use?
Sorry. Pet peeve..... It's a nikon digital slr.
I was just thinking and looking through your travels and reminiscing how we missed our dad when he was gone on business... imagine the fun comments the up and coming photographer ayden will leave! :) Looks like a very awesome trip from these shots and hope you've gained some serenity!
