A Bit of Sunrise From One of Acop's hills

I have long wanted to take sunrise photos especially after the “Show me your Sunrise/Sunset” photo tag from Lovelyn. As I mentioned when I did “My Sundown”, one of the reasons I just can’t is the difficulty of waking up early to catch the break of dawn. Another reason is that I don’t know where to shoot.

While vacationing in Acop, I had opportunities to get up early and watch the sunrise right at our room’s window but the bed’s gravity is strong enough to keep me in bed. Lol! But there’s this one morning that I had no choice but to wake up early because of the clothes waiting to be dried. I woke up ahead of my sister, who did the night washing with me, and while hanging the clothes, I thought I can grab my camera after my chore. So up to the room I went, took the camera and tried to find a good place to take pictures. Alas, only few turned out pretty acceptable for posting. I might just give it another try next time I get the chance.

Every sunrise is a present, a gift from God above,
Gift-wrapped with scarlet ribbons and tied with bows of love.

Each day's a new beginning, a time to start anew,
While all the stars are sleeping, and the rose is fresh with dew.

Every day's a new creation, too lovely to ignore,
And we may find a blessing, just outside our door.

We cannot keep the past, like fireflies in a jar
Nor journey to the future by wishing on a star.

Every sunrise is a blessing, a gift for just today.
Rejoice, my friend, embrace it before it fades away!

Mother and child

We were heading to the seashore when I saw a child (~1year old baby I think) playing in the sand. His legs were covered with sand and he seemed to be enjoying it. He was not wearing pants, only diaper. When his mother started to get him out from the sand, he resisted and started to cry. Eventually, his parents were able to carry him out from the sand after few minutes.

Having seen the child enjoy the sand, I also tried to let Jade have a feel of it but it turned out that she did not like the feeling as it was unfamiliar to her feet and caused her to panic and hang on to us for the rest of the beach walk.

Reflection

It's been a while since my last post. Work and motherhood have kept me busy all these time. We had a 3-day holiday from work (for people to go to there summer holidays) which gave me time to catch up some sleep and go out with my family.

Yesterday, we went to Sanzhi town, 10 mins. bus ride away from home, to stroll in the beach side. We also took this chance to try our newly bought digicam (Canon IXUS 850IS) and among all those picture taken, so far, the picture shown in this post is what we considered the best =).

Dennis suggested the caption to be "Nakasilip ang Diyos!". It sounds terribly corny but it was really the first thing he thought when he saw the outcome.


Seriously, the outcome of the shot amazed me in a way that it made me think of the beauty of nature. We'll try to explore more of the digicam and have the good ones posted here. :)
