I'm grateful for...

I had the absolute joy of being awake before dawn each day we spent at the coast a few weeks ago.  I would very quietly make a cup of tea, light a candle on the balcony and wait.  From the dawn, the changing colours of the clouds to the sunrise and that faithful blinding light that we take for granted each day.  I was in my element.  Here's what I captured, before I had to reach for my sunglasses!
















I hope your week ahead is full of golden moments and plenty of sunshine.

  8. what a glorious sunrise.

    I remember a sunrise out in the desert when I was 17. My friends and I spent a night there as part of a week's trip. We'd stayed up all night at a campsite and bleary eyed though we were, the sunrise was spectacular!
