August 5 ~ Early Start



This morning was one of those times I just love being a photographer. I headed out at 4:20 this morning for St. Mary's Lighthouse; I haven't been there since the end of May as roadworks meant the route I would take was closed at the all-important "stupid-o'clock" time I needed to head there. It was a very promising start; some broken cloud in the sky and a lovely warm breeze. On arrival at the lighthouse I was greeted with a beautiful sky and - even better - not a single other soul present. It was just me, my cameras, and the landscape. Bliss! The only sounds I could hear were the sea birds calling to one another and the sound of the incoming tide. I haven't had such a peaceful photographic experience in quite some time, and I treasured every moment of it. I think the photograph above sums that feling up perfectly for me, as does this one:



Hope you're all well today and that you are enjoying the same beautiful weather we have here today - glorious! {{HUGS}} to you all.

I knew I should have got up this morning. Full of good intentions but that's all.
