“True love is the tide that pulls out to sea, but always returns
to kiss the shore at sunrise.” ~Shannon L. Alder

As a photographer horizons have always held a lot of meaning and beauty for me. The idea that really every day holds a new horizon with its beginning and its end, such an amazing analogy in itself. I hope you enjoy these images I’ve captured over the past month. ~Mac
One of my favorite quotes:
“Sunsets. The illusion either above the horizon or below it. When day and night are linked in a way that cannot be one without the other, yet they cannot exist at the same time.” ~Ebelsain Villegas

The beach is my confidant and my heart. It is where I go when I need sweet solace from the troubles of the world. To go and relax, breath in the sea breeze, listen to the lull of the waves, cry of the gulls and be one with nature. My soul yearns for it, desires it, really. To be at the sea, this is a way of life.© ~Mac

Sometimes colors are brilliant, then there are times they are muted and ordinary. In either case, we can choose where our focus lies. Even in darkness, the outline of beauty can show through if searched for hard enough. ©SBDMB (MM)

Glimmering hues upon the waves
Kissing the beach with color
Rising from depths of slumber
Bathing the morning with light
Whispering sweetly to the sea
Caressing her with his warmth
The Sun in shining glory
Graces us with his presence

Is there anything better than the sun rising from out of the ocean? I’m not sure I have seen many splendors as magnificent as these moments. I am blessed to witness the beauty nature bestows in these quiet moments, when darkness is taken over by light.

On this particular morning the sky looked like God’s canvas. The colorful clouds, in beautiful hues, appeared as painted on brush strokes. It was amazing!
“Never waste any amount of time doing anything important when there is a sunset outside that you should be sitting under!”~C. JoyBell C.
I adore sunrises and sunsets, as I’ve mentioned before. Since moving to the beach just over a year ago I have found my greatest joy is to make time to get up for the sunrise. I hope that I never take this beauty for granted. Life is fragile, we must take time to enjoy every aspect of this beautiful world!

Since moving to the beach I have enjoyed some spectacular mornings. This is my most recent visit enjoying the beauty of the sunrise… the first picture is my husband and daughter walking together.

“Reflection~Looking back so that the view looking forward is even clearer.”
One of my favorite pass-times since moving to the beach is going to view the sun rise. I came across this narrow stream of water that was getting fed every time the waves came in. Usually when the tide is out all that remains is smooth sand, but the water had worked at this little alcove and it created this most beautiful effect as the light reflected off the zigzag of water along the beach.
