Cellpic Sunday 06 Feb 2022 Morning Beauty
“Sky above, sand below, peace within.” – unknown Sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean on Kiawah Island, SC. One of the many wonderful things about the beach is it’s always changing; the colors in the sky, reflections on the water, ocean waves, patterns in the sand. Constantly something new and beauiful to see each day. The header shot and featured picture was taken on this beach, different days with the iPhone11 Max Pro. These were edited in Adobe Camera Raw/Photoshop and Nik software. Many thanks to John Steiner at Journeys with Johnbo for initiating Cellpic Sunday each week. He has invited anyone to join, check out his site here and see…

Not knowing what images to share, I decided on photographing the sun various times during the last leg of our three day journey to Maine. These images were taken on Sunday during a seven hour period with the iPhone 11 Pro Max, from inside the car at 70+ miles an hour. (If you’d like, double click each image to view…
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: #93 MORNING
This week Ann-Christine selected Morning for our weekly challenge. She is asking us to share a few things we do when starting off our day. Generally, I am an early morning person and find myself heading to the beach first thing, even before a morning cup of coffee! Am not sure what draws me there, probably the tranquility and sound of waves crashing on the shore, the salty smell in the air and nature’s beautiful colors gently painting the sky and ocean. Since no two mornings look the same, I am also curious as to what might have transpired overnight. Maybe there will be deer tracks in the sand next…
