My First Sunrise

[Second Hand Pat]

My sister and my nephew is in Melbourne to visit my parents. My nephew Jordan is a professional photographer and this morning we went and shot the sunrise. We had an awesome time and took some amazing photos. This is the first time I have shot a sunrise and the time was magical.

This little guy got in the way.

and with a little observation noted he was bring sand out of the burrow and flinging it away. If you look close you can see a semi-circle of sand around the left hand side of the crab. Hard to capture due to the sameness of the sand.

I thought so too Miskha. I love the contrast between the ocean and sky as the sun comes up.

A little surprising the flowers you find on or near the beach.
