Early Morning - a photo on Flickriver

Early Morning

            There's nothing quite like an early morning walk along the beach.  You never know what you will see, so I always have a camera with just in case.  On this particular morning, there was a stiff breeze and big waves crashing against the shore.  The sun was just getting above the horizon which made for some great light.  This handsome white ibis was also enjoying the morning, strolling along in its best breeding colors.  The waves in the background and a dash of golden highlights really made this beauty pop.  So enjoyable!

My sincere thanks to all who spend the time to view, like or comment on my photos. It is much appreciated!
