Here comes the sun…
As the eastern sky brightened yesterday morning, sunlight painted a line through a thin veil of clouds above the horizon. With the sun heralding its imminent arrival, I was happy to wait and watch it rise. A beautiful start to the day.
A few mornings off Punta Cabeza De Ballena

When we were in Los Cabos last week, we stayed just off the water near Punta Cabeza De Ballena which is east of Cabo San Lucas. Facing east, the sun rose out of the Sea of Cortez every morning. With my wife’s graceful blessing, I was on the beach before dawn almost every day. These are a few of the different faces the coast presented over the week.

On the rocks
The sunrise was beautiful this morning. Ahead of the sun coming over the horizon, I got out into the water and used the silhouetted rocks to anchor the foreground. In this photograph, I made these rocks the main subject as I waited for the sun.
