Sunday Citar Sunrise

I'm participating in Tabith'a Sunday Citar. Click here to see her site and join in on the fun! (post a picture to go with a quote). This Sunday ~ it's all about sunrise.


Greg gave me a quote last week and it became an inspiration for taking pictures. Here's the quote he liked:

"The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent upon it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do."
Galileo

Galileo's quote made me think of the sunrise. So, at 4am yesterday, I woke up Greg. Yes, you read that correctly ~ me, the NOT a morning person, got up that early. We went to the Bonnabel boat launch on Lake Ponchartrain and snapped shots on my camera and the "honeymoon" camera. Greg then sent me his own quote (inspired by the pictures).




"All problems lying on a modern minds gets washed away in an instant when gazing on the mornings light, reminding each of us that every day is a new beginning… a new chance… a new opportunity to be the person you want to be.

Gazing upon Gods’ daily majesty its almost impossible not to let his message wash over you….… Somewhere, at this moment someone is feeling true love for the first time, Look into those eyes…

Somewhere, at this instant, a newborn child is taking its first breath, Welcome to our world.

Somewhere, right now, someone else is also appreciating this morning’s illumination and feeling at peace inside. Find life’s meaning." Greg O'Brien

Between the two cameras, we took a lot of pictures. Greg's camera was better able to capture the first morning light, as that camera can adjust the shutter time of being open. It was difficult to pick which pictures I liked the most and fascinating to see how the light can change with the drift of a cloud or by turning around and viewing the other side of the lake where the sun will set.
