©Copyright DAY19 Boulders Beach, Cape Town
oh heaven.... am off today after a long day and a work function last night. would have made my day to sleep in but oh no you don't... up and into the murky light on my doorstep
I can head a little further today, since a day off means no arriving at work deadline to worry about. I know I am heading to boulders
arriving at 7:25am with sunrise at 7:33am but boulders beach only officially opening at 8am. I am guided by a rather early morning person of a car guard, to another area where he recommends me to head to for a close up and personal viewing and giggling with the penguins so adorable in their swimsuits
the light is not talking to me and the views are not potential. I walk on and chat easily to the flapping penguins so close I could sit and join them for breakfast. still no drama to speak of and the time heads on. some canoeists in the light greys of the waveless waves, but too far to add much other than a seemingly mistaken blur
heading back with one or two pathetic shots, to boulders. and again the disappointment is sitting... not for lack of savouring my spaces, but for an ability to hint at the worlds sunrise stage
and then mother nature's synchronicity boasts at me. six little flip flopping penguins waddle thro the rocks and head straight to me. no shyness, no escaping, just charming their way into my eager lens. one perfectly in time march - towards me not quite captured but certainly easing a bright smile on my in awe face. perfect little people penguins sauntering before me and taking my laughing with them into the chilly calm waters beneath the impressive and famous shoulders of boulders on Boulders Beach
thank you!
