The cameraless sunset

Last night I went to the beach for one of my favorite things a sunset. I realized going in that sometimes sitting watching the setting sun is all you can do. Composing is sometimes too hard. Some feelings are too heavy to save and be remembered. It is best to let them fade away with the sunset. the good news is that today and each day the sun rises and mercies are new each morning. Something good can come in that reality. Something hoped for in the fading moments of the sunset. Maybe today’s journey will bring peace, a sense of clarity and a hope.

Sometimes you just need some nature and beauty to bring calm and peace.  Enjoy

Splash against the rocks

I love rocky coastlines. Growing up in inland Orange County the beach was for family trips a few times during the summer and we always headed down to Huntington Beach. The beach there is this massive sprawling strip of sand and people. I still spend lots of time there and see so much beauty especially as the tide rolls out and the sun drops down to towards the horizon lighting the sand in the most amazing shades of orange and yellow and red. It is surreal and reflective and mystical in its own right.

But to be honest other than one time in sixth grade when we went to Dana Point Harbor to visit the tide pools I didn’t know that Orange County had rocky coastlines. Yet from Corona del Mar down that is almost all that we have. There is something powerful about the waves breaking along the rocks. There is something rugged and regal about the nooks and contures of a rocky coastline. When you are there you are isolated and it creates space for exploring and even better contemplation seems to be the order of the day. Hope you are able to enjoy the space for exploring and contemplating this morning.
