Don't you just love those unexpected moments that catch you by surprise and touch your spirit? I had one such as this that started as a sunrise photo shoot but turned into so much more... While visiting my Dad and his wife at the beach, I set out one morning to put my new photography skills to the test with catching the sunrise. This has become a ritual for me when I visit, as I am "a toes in the sand sunrise" girl. As I began to set up my camera, I received a surprise visitor. I could not believe it! My Dad was making his way down to the water's edge. For those that do not know him, although he lives a block from the beach, he rarely steps foot in the sand. So the visit was special indeed. As the sun came peeking over the horizon, I stood in amazement at the beauty of the moment as the sky's color show enfolded. Mother Nature was throwing out all the stops for all of us early risers. I took many shots with my camera, BUT my favorite moment was when I stepped away from the lens. I paused. Nature's light show with my Dad by my side was far better than any photo I could take. These unexpected moments await us everyday. Each of us are magicians, creating the magic in our world. We just have to PAUSE and be open to receive the beautiful gifts that are bestowed upon us. May life's magic fill your heart with love and take your soul's breath away. P.S. Thank you Dad for joining me and being a part of my morning. The colors were much richer with you there in the sand beside me.
