First Light, Last Light







A hint of colour on the white walls drew me eastward to witness this morning's sunrise. Glorious! It seems like a dream to holiday here.

 Following a long day out at a Gold Coast theme park I snapped this week's progress in my Fresh Fields quilt as daylight disappeared in the west. A little stitching fills those in between holiday moments in a most delightful way.
You can find a closer photo of these "Beach Flowers?" on flickr here.

    Cudowne zdjęcie ze wschodem słońca. Na wakacjach też robisz kołdrę, odpocznij. Pozdrawiam.
    Wonderful picture of the sunrise. On vacation or doing a quilt, rest. Yours.

    What a wonderful, glorious sunrise. There is something jubilant about it, the gift of a new day.

    I love the photo of the little lighthouse and your quilting too. Lovely, soothing colors.

    Karen,
    Your picture makes me dream of beach days. I'm home today with an "Ice Day", and would love to be walking the beach instead. :) Ah... that, too, will come, though. The colors for your quilt are beautiful!

    In addition to the last comment just posted (but in a previous post) - your first photo here is incredible, I want to ring somebody in the photo magazine world right away to tell them to view this image. And I mean every single word of that.
