Backyard fun with the camera

Getting inspiration from a new source

One of the best advantages of our homesite is that it faces east. This means that we are regularly treated with gorgeous sunrises. Now, I'm not a morning girl and I grew up on the West Coast...so I always appreciated sunsets. But things are changing. I regularly open one eye at 5:30 to take in the daily spectacular show...and then promptly go back to sleep, storing the image in my memory for half a second.

A friend from school visited recently and she actually took the initiative to get a picture of the sunrise one morning. Why didn't I think of that?!? (Probably because there's zilch going on in my brain at that time of the day).

So just how pretty are these sunrises? I finally dragged my groggy head out of bed to capture one for you all.


So there you have it. This is a standard Cayman morning, which is pretty darn impressive. This whole morning thing might just grow on me. Might.

Mornings

The air was so still this morning that I was able to capture the following two photos as reflections in the canal water. Yes, they are actually pictures of the water. If you look closely, you can see the small ripples at the bottom of the photos.


In the middle of my 3 minute fantasy world, Jordan successfully scurried an iguana off our property...and straight into the water. So much for those shots.
