This morning we went to the beach before breakfast......
a sure sign that spring is not too far behind.
The sun was 'playing' on the water, jumping all over the place.
Then, as I was standing there taking these pictures
I began to see a pattern of sorts emerging,
resembling a choreographed dance piece.
It was quite magical, the sun's rays dancing
and bouncing on the water's surface.
And then catching a wave and riding it into shore.
It was a continuous chorus line starting way out on the horizon
and moving towards shore in rhythm with the current.
I was transfixed as I watched this through my camera's lens.
And, if it had been summer I would have joined in!
But remembering it was February here along the North Atlantic coast,
I restrained myself and stayed put.
I will have to wait for a few months
before I act on that urge to join in this dance.
Good morning Jim, I loved this! so glad you did not dive into that cold water. enjoy your day
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy. Oh I've learned not to just dive in! This water just never warms up enough for me to jump in!
DeleteLovely photos, Jim. That's 'hope' dancing on the water like that. Hope of spring's arrival :)
ReplyDeleteThat's right Martha! And no more shoveling!!! lol
DeleteTo paraphrase than old Van Morrison song -- "It's a marvelous day for a sun dance!" Of course, he wasn't REALLY talking about dancing, eh.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he wasn't Debra!
DeleteWhat magical sparkles - just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHi Fiona, thanks. I loved your fog shot today while at a shoot!
DeleteJim, these photos were spectacular! I think these are among my most favorite of yours ~ that beautiful pool of sunlit water on the horizon and glitter rolling in on the waves! Still, I think my favorite was the one you used as a header: bruised sky, grass, and cobbles. You are such a wonderful photographer! May your day be filled with lovely images!
ReplyDeleteThanks Louise! Our days can all be filled with lovely images....we just have to pause and take a look around....like you have been doing!
DeleteI know the one you mean Louise.....now THAT was a magical evening down at the beach....a very dark angry sky in back of golden sea grass with the sun pouring onto the stones and grass.
Good Morning!
ReplyDeleteWe are (can you believe this?) expecting the "S" word off/on next three(3) days!
Watching sunlight dance on the water is always entrancing - moonlight too. Good shots!
Have a good day!
Good evening! Yes I can believe it considering how crazy the weather has been! Hey maybe a snowman is in order!
DeleteWe had a very busy day here. Have a great evening!
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Hi Janie! Thanks.
DeleteYes lovely. ....never happens here...
ReplyDeleteThanks John. It occasionally happens here and I was lucky to be there to see it.
DeleteSuch a lovely dance!
ReplyDeleteIt really was Pat. Could have watched it longer.
DeleteThe beach before breakfast! Only in my dreams!
ReplyDeleteYou captured magic.
We haven't done that in a few months....too dark and cold. It's good to be able to do that now. Have a great weekend Terry!
DeleteSuch a wonderful time to just sit and watch it, too bad we get more snow tonight hmph
ReplyDeleteHi Pat. I just heard that west of Halifax is getting a ton of snow now. Glad we here on the eastern shore are east of that 'Windsor line'....today anyway!
Deletehave a good day!
thanks for the lovely photos of light, Jim, and the hope that spring is indeed right around the corner. I hope all is well with you.
ReplyDeleteHey Karen! You are most welcome. Oh spring is in the air around here....in a couple of months it will be warmer. All is well here Karen, thanks.
DeleteThe dawn of a new day.....I so love the way the sun dances on the water saying good morning! This set is great Jim!
ReplyDeleteJen, it's a new day, a new dawn......! That's exactly what it was like Jen....like a greeting of sorts.
DeleteThanks for dropping by and have a great weekend.
Hi Jim,
ReplyDeleteWow, magical and glistening shots - beautiful!
