For the last few weeks, I’ve been waking up quite early and taking my morning coffee to the beach. I think it all started when I woke up one morning – probably at like 6:30 – and saw how pretty it was while I was driving to the gym. I thought to myself, if its this pretty at 6:30 and the sun has already risen… then sunrise must be even better. Answer: Correct-a-mundo
I have always loved looking at the beach and breathing in the beauty – but when you are alone on the beach at 5:45 AM … its even better.
I’ve pretty much been going in my gym clothes and grabbing my coffee and perhaps my blackberry. Once or twice I grabbed a towel to sit on – but today I decided I would bring my big camera that I gave myself as a graduation present. Its a Nikon D3000 and takes excellent pictures – especially considering I don’t really make it work that hard :). It pretty much photographs my garden, the beach, and Ireland …
Regardless… today I figured I’d take some pictures at the beach … so I got down there and then realized that …. I forgot my SD memory card for the camera. Fail. So I took this picture with my cellphone:
I feel so incredibly lucky that I get to drink in all this beauty each morning.
Its kinda funny because I think that since I didn’t have my camera with me, I saw how truly pretty the beach was this morning. If I had my camera, I would have been looking for “good shots” rather than actually just soaking it all in. Here are a few more pictures that I took with my blackberry…My friend Dave is coming down this week – tomorrow actually – so I took a video to show how gorgeous sunrise is. The quality isn’t great for sure – its a blackberry – but its hard to ignore the sounds of the waves and how there isn’t anyone else on the beach 🙂
Stay cool kids.
