Summertime is a time to get outside and enjoy the scenery. There are some amazing places all around us. I have had the good fortune to travel a bit to see a few sights beyond my backyard. One of my favorite places to go is the beach. Whether crowded or empty, there is something that fills the soul when you are at the waterfront. | |
Nags Head Sunrise | A special treat is to get up early (or even stay up late) to watch to sun come up to greet the waves. As it rises, you begin to get a sense of the day and the hope of what it may bring. Colors begin to burst into hues of red, orange and blue. |

The sounds of the surf on the shore and the birds flying above in the cool breeze blowing in off the water create an exhilarating feeling deep inside. Soon the sun rises higher and the multitude of colors begin to give way to the brightness and heat of the day. Now is the time to go into the water and play! | The beach at Montrose, Scotland |
At the end of a good beach day, you can do the reverse and catch a champagne sunset as the colors move into the golden range and nature begins to quiet down for a good nights rest. If you are lucky enough, you may even see the green flash as the last glimmer of sunlight passes below the horizon. | |
Next, a brilliant heavenly orb shows his face to watch over the creatures below. The Moon, that old familiar friend of the night, looms mysterious and glamorous over land and sea. It has been a glorious day to be at the beach! |
