Beautiful post Judy ,Look very peaceful and quite place thanks for sharing
You’re welcome, Jake, and thanks for the nice compliment!
Spectacle indeed! It’s beautiful because there are days when the colors change, orange, yellow, pink..it is something
Thank you, Adri! Yes, you’re right, lovely color changes! But I don’t often get up early enough to see it!
Now sunSETS….I can handle that time of day!
So soft and peaceful… Gorgeous. And I love the quote.
Thank you, zelmare! I wish I could get up that early every day to catch sunrises! But, then again, I don’t live by the ocean, where a sunrise is really awesome!!!
This is a beautiful picture! And the quote is perfect, too. Great post Judy!
Thank you, Meg! It’s not often I’m up that early anymore. But when the ocean is out my door~ I am!
Lovely image Judy.
Thank you, Jim! I catch more sunsets at my age than sunrises anymore! But once in awhile, if I’m at the ocean…I’ll be sure to awake early!
Love those soft colors. I don’t get up for sunrises all that often either but now you’re tempting me to attempt it!
I usually catch ‘em when I’m traveling and by the ocean. I do much better catching sunSETs!
There are some pretty sunrises out there, though! Thanks, Sheila!
Nice post Judy! I wanted to let you know that I’ve nominated you for the Reader Appreciation Award! Thanks for such an enjoyable blog. Here’s the link: http://megtraveling.com/2012/06/08/reader-appreciation-and-very-inspiring-blogger-awards/
Wow! Thank you, Meg! I’m so honored and appreciative of this lovely award you’ve bestowed upon me! I’m months behind on handing out my awards. ;( I hope to catch up soon! Thank you again!
It’s interesting how a sunrise on the east coast looks different than a sunset on the west coast. Both beautiful in their own way.
Not that I’ve seen too many on the West Coast (I usually sleep-in at my brother’s home!) But I know what you mean! How nice they are NOT the same! So much more beauty in this world to enjoy~
Soooo beautiful ! I would love to go to this beach too.
This is a bit farther south. It’s in Maryland. Ocean City, Maryland. But it’s a lovely beach….a very long stretch of sandy beach. I’d like to go back! We only spent one night there.
Great capture…
Thank you Bindu. I love sunsets and sunrises. But I’m not up for many of the “rises”!!
Awe inspiring colors that capture your vision and hold it in a state of mesmeriztion.
quite lovely …. Isadora
Wow…thank you Isadora. Such lovely words you sent to me……
Oh that is so beautiful!
Thank you, Caroline! You are very kind!
