Morning blues

For those that follow me you will know I love early morning walks, especially to avoid the heat during the day and with my history with skin cancer is another reason I avoid walks in the direct sun, and head out for most of my walks before and during sunrise when the temps are cooler, plus less people are out and about at that time so I find it peaceful and a nice way to start the day.
So for this post, I am going to share photos from various walks, some in the last few days and some further back, all focusing on the morning blues, OK a couple may not be so early morning but still the blues

Starting with this shot taken from beside the Hurricane barrier wall at the end of Gifford Street, there is a small boat launch ramp off to the left

Next up a shot taken the same day as the first shot, I was watching the Osprey nest and saw this cormorant start to take off and snapped a few shots, I liked this one the bird just out of the water and the golden color of the sunrise shining in the splashing water

This one I included just to show I don't always get good shots, or perhaps more apt in these case I sometimes mess up and move the camera while it is taking a long exposure, most I never edit and share, but I liked the funky effect on this one

Great shots! I have to agree... morning is definitely a very "special" time of the day. Somehow you feel ahead of the pack as well, being up really early!

The images are incredible and the colors are almost unreal. I don't know how you get this extremely blue immersive color but it is fabulous.

First let me start by saying awesome photos! That is so funny that you mentioned the cormorants! We just saw a bunch of them this past weekend. I had honestly never heard of them before, but our tour guide kept making a point of mentioning them on our boat tour!

I find the cormorant so cool to watch they dive for a long period I timed one once for over a minute

These ones were mostly sitting on the cliff face in a rookery. It was pretty cool to watch them.

I forgot to add the other cool thing about them which you may have seen in the rocks was them standing with their wings spread to dry out

Morning blues good topic for today. Gonna be hot a muggy here. I got out and did a few things this morning but the rest of the day will be slow and draggy and hot and humid. I like the color of the Inheritance boat and the reflection. I think some of your best shots are ones that pick up a splash of color from the docks or boats to go with the sky and water colors you do so well.

Hello my dear friend, I am hooked on your amazing photos. I agree with you, for me the dawn of the day is a good time to receive the calmness of nature. I love your photos and the take off of the cormorant is beautiful to the beat of the golden water. greetings from Venezuela! 😇

the Blues certainly are a wonderful morning surprise! thanks for showing us a little about the harbor, and of course, who doesn't love the cormarants?

I think one of my faves was the long exposure where you catch the running lights in the harbor

Isn't it true, @tattoodjay , it is a peaceful and a nice way to start the day.
In the mornings, I swam almost every day in the lagoon... so peaceful. And the walk to it was such a nice way to start my day!

Beautiful. I remember the first time I saw cormorants and couldn't figure out what they were. It was when the internet was just a baby to me and I didn't have a phone camera because they didn't exist. I had to actually stop an 18 wheeler and ask a guy what the crazy birds were and why were they all sitting like that. Remember when we had to pose questions to other people?

I love that shot of the cormorant! What a great shot! The edit is striking in color. The entire post with the daylight almost there shows off such a beautifully saturated night into the breaking of the day!

Wonderful!!! I love it!!

My main reasons for getting up early are that I have most places most times for me alone and I love the time before the sun actually rises, just like in your images.
I love the shot of the cormorant - the golden splashing water looks awesome, JJ 😀

Some sick shots! Love the one with the bird taking off.

I need a tripod for long exposures as my hand is far from being steady. It's a real bummer.
