Surreal Morning

 

Surreal Morning

Sometimes, reality is amazing!!  This images were just as they appeared on a very special morning in Galveston!

Early Morning Colors

One Morning, as my husband and I were driving along Galveston Island in search of birds, we came across this surreal sight. The play of morning mist, the angle of the sunrise’s light, and the vegetation in the area all combined to make this a pastel morning view.

Morning Field

It was a misty morning, and the sun’s morning colors turned this view of a field into something magical.  It felt like my husband and I were driving through a fairy tale of some kind!

Morning Layers

The sun was rising in the morning sky, so colors were becoming more intense.  Still, the mist on the ground, stronger sun and fields along the horizon all combined to create a vibrant layered view of world around.

Morning Light

The pond was quiet.  The birds either hadn’t yet been or had been and were gone from their morning feed.  The mist was still clutching the shoreline shrubs, but the warm rays of the sun were there, reflected in the red orange of grasses along another part of the shore. 

Enjoy!

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!

Early Morning

This year, for Foto Art Fridays, I thought I would share a “pure” photograph that I’ve taken and share that, instead of creating a photo collage or some other artistic altered image.  I also thought I’d tell you a bit about the image.

Early Morning

This image is of one of my favorite subjects, which is no longer around.  This deserted cabin is just down the road from our home, and I love the character of it.  The tree standing next to it adds to the character, and makes the scene truly photogenic.  This cabin seemed to speak of past times when I think people, in general, were made of tough stuff.  It doesn’t look like it had any running water or electricity when it was someone’s home.  It managed to survive for generations, but within the last few years, time and the elements have finally taken their toll, and the cabin is mostly flattened.  Here’s to (slightly) better times!

Enjoy!
