sunrise

When was the last time you went to the beach and actually felt the cool sand in your toes or heard the waves washing up or the gulls doing what they do? Oh too often I see many travellers sit at the edge of the dunes or the boardwalk, looking, but never venturing out. The beach was meant to be experienced, not just observed. So, kick off those flipflops (but be mindful where you leave them- I'll save that for a different blog)and head on down to the waters edge. Dip your feet in, breath in the air, listen to the sounds and look at the sights. You will walk away a different person...

What a wonderful day to be up early and taking in the sights

I love the way the sky is ever changing. Reminds me that we are alive. It never ceases to amaze me, the kind, friendly conversations and salutations that are exchanged first thing in the morning at the waters edge. How ironic is it that the people I have been seeing over the past 20+ some years are for the most part the same people I still see in the early am? I thought about that and at first was wishing that everyone would get up early and get their day started like I did. Then I thought it is a choice we all have to make, sleep in or experience life's amazing sights? Hint...(you can always take a power nap after lunch)

An amazing sight for sure. I have been taking images of the beaches for years. It's time to share with the world what I see. For more pics of what I see through my lens visit www.johnbinkleyphotography.blogspot.com/ or my flickr site www.flickr.com/photos/binkleyjax/
