A beautiful start
Tiptoeing out with my best buddy
To savour the dawn of a beautiful new day
And seeing this…
Renewal for the soul, don’t you think?
For more purple in the sky, please visit: Skywatch.
I’m down with a bad cold, so also hooking up to: Camera Critters.


Renewal indeed. How long before Oscar launched himself into that beautifully coloured water?

A lovely dawn
October 4, 2012 at 13:04
I love your purply skies and reflections. The pier is almost a mystical bridge.
October 4, 2012 at 13:14
seriously….that sky is magic, its like cotton candy beautiful…and being able to share that with friends is the best…smiles…
October 4, 2012 at 13:47

I wonder what is going through that mind as he gazes at that magnificent scene? Absolutely beautiful.
October 4, 2012 at 14:30
Oscar appears to be enthralled by this beautiful scene.
October 4, 2012 at 14:43
Thanks to you LadyFi my day is starting beautifully
October 4, 2012 at 14:55
Renewal, yes! The way the sky reflects off the water, creating that purple hue….wow.
October 4, 2012 at 15:01
This is amazing!
October 4, 2012 at 15:23
Magnificent shot. Not only with regard to color, which is stunning by the way, but also with regard to setting. Your dog looking into that horizon, along with the pier extending outward toward it is a superb use of the elements. I love the way you “see.”
October 4, 2012 at 15:53
What a beautiful way to wake up in the mornings!!!!!! I’m sure that you and your buddy loved being there and seeing THAT beauty…
Hugs,

October 4, 2012 at 16:24
Yes, it is so nourishing and a great way to start a day that you know might get a bit stressful later on.
October 4, 2012 at 16:54

October 4, 2012 at 16:26

I think you should rent out this view to people who want to take pictures – possibly the dog as well!
Great image.
It seems that people like my spring shot – it did not come out as I saw it in my head, but all the positive comments must mean something!
