Photo-Heart Connection: June






Sunrise.
My favourite time of the day!
My heart is always connected to the start of each new day - 
 and to this one in particular
because of the glorious setting overlooking the sea.
It's just after 5 o'clock in the morning,
the orange sun has just appeared over the horizon like a heartbeat - bringing everything to life.
I can feel the pulsating energy which pulls me into the whole atmosphere...
I become part of it
I am alive!

I can hear the gentle lapping of the tiny waves on the sandy beach
a distant seagull calls out
I can see a little fishing boat setting off for the day's catch...
and the small medieval chapel outlined on the hill.

The calm sea captures the glowing orange sky
and I am totally enraptured and captured by
the ever-changing light and colours.
A new day!
Just this moment...
Perfection and total connection!





Porthmeor Beach and St Nicholas chapel, St Ives, Cornwall. England.

    Good morning Sandra

    That photo is amazing
    and you have written such heartfelt words to go with it.

    It is so pretty it could be a picture postcard.

    Hope you have a lovely day

    The sky colors are stunning Sandra! You have a beautiful way of expressing thoughts and feelings, and I think you need to be a writer. Love the soft rippling sea, the gentle background of the sky, and the silhouette of the hill and chapel. True natural beauty. Welcome home, and we'll be watching for more lovely posts! :)
