Welcome to Hawaii, wish you were here.......
Well if you were judging by these shots you just might think that you were receiving a postcard of a beautiful Hawaiian sunset.
But no, this is sunrise on White Rock beach. And it was cold, so cold that I needed gloves, and a scarf, and probably a hat. Except, I don't wear hats, unless it is extreme conditions. This wasn't one of them.
Welcome to White Rock, wish you were here.
See, I knew that if I gringed enough about all the rain, it would stop, and the marvelous sun would come out. Of course with the sun comes the cooler temperatures, but hey, frost covered anything looks wonderful at any time of the day. Who's complaining?
I got up really early, to get these shots, and I am sure that you appreciate that. Especially since it was my day off.
Now we come to the "missing you" part of my post.
I am still around, but I am working, and working, and working. This happens when you work retail at Christmas time.
So consequently I have let my blog reading pile up a bit. I am trying to visit everyone, but I read a lot of blogs, and I promise to catch up on my next day off.
Meanwhile, enjoy the sunrise, wish you were here.

That is a gorgeous sunrise! I'm glad you got up early and didn't miss it!
ReplyDeleteI'm not an early riser, so I see more sunsets and they're also beautiful. This is stunning. Thank you for going that extra mile to capture them.
ReplyDeleteI'm having time management issues and, more to the point, a lack of inspiration, so I've been very absent from my own blog of late. At least you're posting to your own blog while being crazy busy. So...you haven't been missin' much over at my place lately.
Jen those are the most beautiful pictures ever.
ReplyDeleteThanks for getting up so early and taking one for the team.
Wow those are gorgeous pics. I love how that big boulder looks against that painted sky. I am hosting a giveaway over at my gloryfeathers blog so be sure to stop by and enter.

Ahhh...a glorious sky worth getting up for! Thanks! :-)
ReplyDeleteThose shots are breathtaking. The first few do remind me of warm, sun-quenched days.Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNuts, maybe, and why we love you, dear Jen. That last photo, especially for me, shows why we are all your fans! Holiday ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteJen girl ... what can I say ? .. I so wish that I had been there too .. this is utterly stunning and you were so lucky to see this .. I would be up (what am I talking about .. I get up before 6 most mornings and boy .. I would be up at 3 AM if it meant I could catch this sunrise) .. so beautiful, thank you for posting it girl : ) I love it and yearn so badly for a red sunrise here .. it hasn't happened in literally months now and I am having terrible withdrawal pangs from not seeing one in person .. this was just what I needed : )

Jen, it's just beautiful and on time for your day off. I've discovered that after years of waking up early for work it's rare to be able to sleep in! Thank you for the beautiful photos and for getting out into the cold. gail ps You would smile at all of us shivering zone 7ers this morning! It's 24 degrees.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos - I do love a good sunrise. And everything looks so much better in frost than rain and mud!
ReplyDeleteIncredible!!! I've never seen any sunrise photos this beautiful. Thank you and we all understand about work; visit when you can and we look forward to more incredible pictures. Enjoy your day Jen.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics....I wish I was there, too. ha
ReplyDeleteOh Jen I am so glad you got up early for those shots...just stunning! I'm even more glad you shared!
ReplyDeleteHave fun during the Christmas rush...see ya when things settle down. Kim
Hi Jen, we really do appreciate your getting up early on your day off for shots like that! I believed you were in Hawaii too, the colors seem appropriate for a tropical paradise. I hate to wear hats too, but putting the hood up on the hoodies is acceptable if needed. Don't work too hard and the blogs will wait for you. Isn't that one of the best things about them, once published, they are there forever, or so wordpress informed me. :-)

Thank you everyone for being so understanding. I am catching up on everyone in bits and drabs, a little here, and a little there. I look forward to seeing everyone soon.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile I think I can just manage a schedule of posting every second day. Look for me on Monday.
Jen
Sure you'll have tons of great pics.
ReplyDeleteHubby wants to cruise around Hawaii.
Stunning photos these are!! I love them! Great job in capturing this beautiful sunset Jen!
