I'm a Sunrise Shooter

My name is Casey Malone and I am a sunrise shooter.

There, I've said it.  I feel better.  Now I just have to go on with my life with the understanding that I like to photograph sunrises.  That takes a load off!

I will shoot sunrises every day if I can.  Why?  Because they inspire me. They intrigue me. They fill my mind with wonder and excitement.

The sunrise images I am using today were all shot from the same 9th floor balcony. They are all the same in many ways - sunlight, water, sand.  Yet, they are all different too.

Sometimes there are clouds which make the sun almost invisible.

Sometimes there are no clouds at all.

Sometimes the clouds dance across the sky like ballerinas on the stage.

And other times the hang low near the horizon forcing the sunbeams to push through in shafts of light for the new day.

Yet they are always there, waiting for me to witness them, to relish them, to begin my day with them.

People are like that too.  Some are full, some are empty, some are dancing, some are stubborn and forceful. But, they are there, waiting for us to make them part of our lives.

Over the past few days I have had the great blessing to share real extended fellowship with some people. People who have been part of my life for many years.  They have been with me in the good times and in the really bad times.  I am grateful for them. I am grateful for there long term friendships. And, I am grateful that they have continued to be there, just like the sunrise, waiting.

The Lord's lovingkindnesses indeed never cease,
For His compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3: 22, 23
