Welcome to Sisters in Sunrises – part two! Debi Bradford and I both got up at the crack of dawn to photograph the sunrise. I have her link attached to her name…above. She is an incredible photographer, I think you will enjoy her site. She is in North Carolina, and I am in New Jersey…the last one we did we compared Florida and N.C. My weather was iffy, but I put out an intention that it would be a beautiful sunrise.
No sunrise is complete without a giant lemon on the boardwalk! This is what I saw when I arrived.
Just cresting the horizon….
A little close up and the sky looked like it was on fire!
Caught a seagull in flight (just to the left of the jetty)…
I think that is the same seagull…
And the view of the boardwalk as I left!
I drove home and as soon as I got inside, the sky opened up and it rained cats and dogs!!
There is something amazing about viewing a sunrise. The energy it exudes is beautiful, and stays with you all day. Ahhhhh!
Blessitude

Thanks for sharing your photos and enthusiasm. I rarely get up early enough for sunrises. I’m more of a sunset guy. XD
At the beach is particularly nice, feels as though we’re at the edge of the world with new light, day and energy opening up. 🙂

Hi Frédéric! Wow! That is wonderful if you feel energized…I can feel the energy of a sunrise in person…if that comes through in the photos for you, that makes me so happy!! 🙂 I get up earlier now than I ever have…but I hear so much about the really early hours of the morning being so spiritual. ..I try to be a part of that but my natural circadian rhythm makes it challenging. Much love to you dearest. I really felt your presence here yesterday…Thank You!! ❤ ❤

Hi Himani…it is “the Jersey Shore!” Bradley Beach, Avon, and Belmar, New Jersey. A truly beautiful place that gets a bad reputation from reality TV shows and stereotypes. Have a great weekend 🙂 (no beach here this weekend. ..nothing but rain!) 🙂

Oh how i agree. My old apartment faced and sat on the pond, which pointed toward the west, but also reflected the east – so I had the best of both worlds – I watched very sunrise through the mirror of the pond, which exploded in color before me – and every sunset exploding in the sky before me. Also fortunate, there was a plethora of wildlife (birds) that lived in and on the pond and marshy areas thereof – and with each and every oncoming sunrise, you would hear each species of bird wake up one at a time. It’s a very magical time of day. Alas, the apartment was far too hot (western exposure – top floor – FL), so after 3 years I moved to a building that faces a small wooded area, where I see neither the sunrise or the sunset … and miss them both dearly. I’m still grateful for my quiet and peaceful view (especially the TREES), but it’s not the same as being a part of the beauty that is the birth of a new day (which once passes, I’m usually ready for a nap hehe). Those pictures were beautiful, Where in NJ are you? I’m originally from NY (Brooklyn and Long Island area) and moved to FL 11 years ago. It’s “okay” – that’s about it “okay” … but okay is okay. 🙂

Oh you are SO lucky – the shore is beautiful, though I hope you didn’t suffer any damage from Sandy. When I first moved to FL in 2003, I lived in Royal Palm Beach for 3 years before moving to Orlando. My dream would be to be a snowbird (well one of many dreams) – I don’t see it happening “yet” – but one day!
