From our vacation house in the southern end of Virginia Beach, we wake up to the sounds of the Atlantic to our east and the birds that habitate the marshes to our west. Here is the early morning view looking west; the photo was taken just before sunrise this morning. I'm reminded of a lecture from a photography class taken some years ago, where the professor stressed that the richest, deepest, truest colors could be found in pre-dawn, in that very fleeting space between barely light and sun up. And those early risers willing to brave the dark or chill and lay in wait are well rewarded.

I find these spaces at morning and dusk the most beautiful and hopefilled. There's a unique quiet to these brief moments each day that I find renewing. Thanks for this blog.
