It’s hard to resist water…

They’re all wonderful, Vlad, but I think the final shot – of the bird in flight, is my favourite one of all :)
One vote for number 5! :-) My favorite too, possibly…
:)
So beautiful and serene, meditating at water’s edge comes to mind.
At sunrise and sunset, time is suspended for a few moments…
Beautiful colours!

Bellissime tutte e cinque !:-)
Complimenti !
Grazie mille!
Sunrise and sunset – both. Each brings different feelings which I think I put on to the photos after I know which one is when. Thanks for these beautiful photos
I wonder if I could tell which ones are sunrise and which sunset if I didn’t know already? I am not always sure I could… But yes, here they do have very different feelings, I think…
ohh those photos could be wallpapers!
They may yet be…
love them all… beautiful display of shades.
Thanks very much!
Beautiful shots, especially like the last one.
Number 5 has caught up with number 3 :-)
All great photos, but #3 and #4 are my fav’s
… but number 3 has pulled ahead again. Thanks, Jeff! :-)

Stunning shots, all of them
Thanks, bb! Loved your solitary wrecked ship…
2nd one took my breath away – the expanse makes for perfect solitary moments, golden or otherwise – “in the wee, small hours of the morning, while the whole wide world is fast asleep”
The beach was broad and endless, indeed, and nobody was about as the sun rose…

The color and lighting in each of these is spectacular. My favorite is the 3rd one, but they’re all wonderful!
Number 3 is turning out to be really popular,,, to my mind, the bird in it is a bit too small, but who am I to resist the popular momentum? ;-)
Great capture of light. Do you live by the beach?
No, we live in the middle of Manhattan. These photos were taken far from home. The sunrise photos were taken at Amelia Island, Georgia, and the sunset photos at Glover’s Reef Atoll, Belize.
Lovely!
Thank you! Love your photos as well!
:) Thanks!
oh I love your pictures!!
Thank you very much!!
Lovely photos of a lovely place, beautiful sky in all it’s colors
Thank you for stopping by and liking, Ritva! :-)
These are lovely photos. The bird and the walker, and the last one are my favorites. Great lighting on the last and love the take on solitary for the bird and walker.
Glad you liked them! Thanks so much!!
I’m in awe of the beauty and the colors you always capture so well.
Well, these were all in the south, where the light and colors are inherently lush…
I can see why you posted a part 2…gorgeous colors. I’m a sucker for a great blue heron every time…
Great blue herons: me too! I’ll have to do a post just on them one of these days…
Wow! These are beautiful!
:-) Thank you!!
