Since I live on the west coast of Florida it should’t come as any surprise that finding a spot to watch the sunset isn’t a hard thing to do. Finding a spot close by with elements to compose a nice picture does make it a little harder though. But so far it’s harder by far to find spots to take sunrise pictures. So when it dawned on me to try the sunrise at the rookery I was out there in a flash. Literally, because I only had about 20 minutes until sunrise and I was still in my pajamas.
While I’m still in Florida I’ll have to venture a little further south for some especially pretty places for these photos. I’m already feeling like I’m running out of time before I’ll be heading north again. I remember thinking that once I didn’t have kids in school anymore then that’s when time would finally slow down. I have no idea where I got that idea, but if anything the older I get the faster time just seems to slip away. Maybe that’s why I keep trying to capture these moments. Maybe I’m trying to freeze time one moment at a time.
