Gumboot dancing on the beach this morning, half coal miner and half apache indian performing rain dance at first light. and its obviously working as the rain is wetting everything, except me...

a day for dawn, a day for dogs. four human legs and eight animal ones, prancing proudly against the backdrop of shimmer. its a smile moment, those that I often have out here with a generous mother nature and a 'lightness of being'

a rise from pillow to purpose is easier every day now, just the unsettled uncertainty to capture something worthwhile, when the dark is getting darker and the light more illusive. still that's part of the mental battle, to do what I do without losing momentum when a photo fails to be good enough for me... its how things go and not each and everyone will crack the nod

but the sky hasn't fallen on my head yet, so each morning is each morning as it unravels...and other than a very sore set of thighs from yesterday muddy weather ride on gentleman bundy... am still thrilling with my morning's dawnings

Well it's becoming a challenge. Not only this morning to get outta bed at 6am on my day off, but because a few days have been light-disappointing and thus shot-disappointing.

 Today I was even thinking as I drove thro the charcoal skies.... Perhaps I should make it 21days....

I know where I go today, without a seconds hesitation, it's going to be Glencairn today. Easy ride over a busier than normal road thro the mountains.

Nothing..... Well no light. Nothing...

But also so much more. It's the company of the empty beach, the harmony, the eco beauty still in form. A magic u cannot imagine without feeling the calm composed desolation with life buzzing around us

The train drivers whistle with their cranky machine... Little do they realise this tiny person in a giant jacket is 47:) but hey whistle with yr train gear... Maybe u just chasing away the seagulls

The clouds split- like peas coming out of a pod. And suddenly it's there boasting at me from around the grey. The glimmer of light.. mirror miracles on wet sands.


Ok I am still here.... Ready to change the rules one minute. Absorbed in the magical dawning world the next....

Ok I am still here...
