The photoprincess got a new 35mm lens for the Nikons d5100 and d3100. I love the lens and today I went out to Padre Island by Bob Hall Pier. The sunrise was gorgeous and so peaceful! The only stress was in trying to be ready as it unfolded. I used my tripod and played with my remote control some too. Thank You Jehovah for such a beautiful planet you made man on!

It was hard to see the condition of the sand I was driving into but I made it ok. I tried using a very high iso but I liked the results better with the iso lower and the slower shutter on the tripod. The lens opens up to 1.8 and that helps but I wanted to use f5 for best clarity. Oh well these are the results. I can only approximate the beauty of being there. I hope you enjoy. Try to get out at sunrise and see this beautiful planet come alive!

My Favorite Time of Day!

Being a morning person has lots of benefits! I love to see the sunrise over the Laguna Madre! Sea Gulls are plentiful to add spice to the food for the eyes. I learned long ago that silhouettes are more appealing with recognizable players. I hope you enjoy this scene too! Check out my older blogs for local scenery!

Spring along the Laguna Madre is spectacular for me! My Lilly is opening better than in years past! I took the upper picture with my new Tamron 60mm F2 lens. It is so nice and sharp for flowers! It's hard to take a bad photo of flowers!
The lower photo was a sunrise this morning. I love to park by the shore and absorb the peace among the cries of the gulls and the hum of boats and the ever-changing light! It's a wonderful place to read too!

Last night's Memorial Celebration was wonderful! Both my parents were well enough to attend and the speaker was very knowledgeable and easy to focus on! Our meeting was at 9:15 because it must be after sundown and we share our Kingdom Hall. That time slot was less desirable to me but I enjoyed the less crowded surrounding!  When you cooperate with the arrangement you are rewarded. Thank You Jehovah!

Blissful Morning

This morning I went out to view the sunrise over the Laguna Madre parking with my drivers window to the water! Then a vehicle comes up an parks between me and the North! I was aggravated by that. I watched as he put on waders and his bait bucket and fishing pole and waded out between me and the sun's path. I think he added something blissful to the picture. I waited for a gull and that made a pleasant mood picture don't you think? So when you get lemons make lemonade!www.lagunashorevillage.com
