Dawn on the Beach

 

Dawn on the Beach

Sometimes, getting up really early has its rewards – like the day I photographed the sunrise on Galveston Beach!!

Daybreak Flight

It’s truly quilte peaceful to watch the seagulls flying over the shore along the beach, periodically diving to capture breakfast.  With the sun just breaking over the horizon, it’s truly a moment that one carries throughout the rest of the day.

Early Morning

This view was the reward for rising early in the morning.  A walk on the beach, watching the sunrise.  I can’t think of a more peaceful way to begin the day!

Morning Flight

The morning was just quiet enough to be able to hear the seagull’s wings as he took flight.  The waves seemed to be willing to give him the spotlight for the moment, and the sun hadn’t yet risen to assume its place as star of this morning show.

Seagull Morning

It’s dawn, before daybreak, and a lone seagull is on morning patrol.  He’s silhouetted against the light blue of the sky and seems impervious to the beauty behind him.  It reminded me of how frequently we take nature’s beauty for granted.

Enjoy!
