The woman silhouetted at the water’s edge, a group of women joggers on the same sidewalk as I, and I all stopped dead in our tracks and whipped out our cameras to take a picture of this scene this morning. We all laughed and joked about everyone carrying their cameras and what a beautiful sight it was. The magic hour this time of year seems to be about 6:55am should you decide to go out looking for some glorious dawn scenes.
Here’s another shot of the same scene, just a little farther down the block. Being selective is difficult for me at any time, but this time I gave up trying to decide between these two and included both.
The kapok tree on the lawn of the Fine Arts Museum is starting to flower (see inkwatu.com/2009/01/07/the-kapok-tree for more about this tree).
I wish there were a place to leave notes for people who tend to our parks to let them know how much their artistry and attention to detail is appreciated.

Fla has the best sunrises and sunsets in the World!
Agreed!
You can see some dramatic ones on the Big Island of Hawai’i too…(just saying…)
They sure do and I miss them (and my sister in Ocean View) so much.
I wish I could see Lucy more often…although on the same island, we live quite a distance apart…
Gorgeous images. Are you using the camera on your cell phone?
Sometimes, yes, Zack, but usually just an old point-and-shoot Canon that’s not even made any more. On rare, rare occasion I haul out my Nikon, but I usually feel like such a dork hauling it around. This old point-and-shoot I carry with me everywhere, on my belt, though, so I guess I still look like I’m lacking only a pocket protector and I’d be the class nerd again. I’ve always read that the best camera is the camera you will use and have with you. So, this works sufficiently for me. Even though it doesn’t have all that many pixels, it’s got a good optical zoom.
