troubled experiences

If you will call your troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force withing you, you will grow vigorous and happy, however adverse your circumstances may seem to be.   --John Heywood (1497-1580) English writer known for his poems, plays, and collection of proverbs

gift from the sea

The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless, as a beach--waiting for a gift from the sea. -- Anne Morrow Lindbergh (1906-2001) American Aviator, Author, and spouse to fellow aviator Charles Lindbergh

alignment of events

I often think of that rare fulfilling joy when I am in the presence of some wonderful alignment of events. Where the light, the colour, the shapes, and the balance all interlock so beautifully that I feel truly overwhelmed by the wonder of it.  --Charlie Waite (b. 1949) landscape photographer

net of wonder

The sea; once it casts its spell, it holds one in its net of wonder forever --Jacques Cousteau (1910-1997) Author and Researcher who studied the sea and all forms of life in water.

start anew

With each sunrise, we start anew. 

This weekend, I was fortunate enough to venture down to Myrtle Beach to visit my little girl and see one of my close friends! I couldn't help but to take advantage of the opportunity to take some photos I do not get the chance to take that often. The Easter Morning sunrise was absolutely beautiful and definitely will bring you to your knees to remember what happened on that miraculous day (resurrection of Christ Jesus)! Yes, the quote I chose for this post is very simple but the more I think about it, the deeper it seems to become. So, as the photos draws you in, really let your mind wonder! I took many different photos of the sunrise, trying many different exposures and what not. This one is definitely one of my favorites but I have more! I can't wait to post!!
