This is the sunrise from March 19.
It’s such a quiet, calm time of day. Usually the only sounds are those of birds singing.
This duck seemed to be swimming toward the sunrise. In the distance, you can see a workboat, heading out to work the fishing nets, crab pots and/or oyster beds in the James River.
After taking these pictures, I began my morning chores reading blogs, and just happened to look out, about 30 minutes later.
You have my word: this picture was taken the same morning as the previous three.










The sky changes so quickly….part of the reason sunrise and sunset photos are so beautiful and fascinating! Lovely.

I believe you. The water is as calm as the first three but oh my, the sky is so different.
oh so very beautiful…..your photos are always so stunning. I hope you put them together in a book/coffee table table book
Just a reminder that we always have to be looking! What a gorgeous end to the sunrise! Have a wonderful day!
Sunrise can be such a sweet surprise!
A beautiful, calm way to start that particular morning!
A glorious sunrise surprise! Many of our days have golden surprises if we are waiting and watching for them. Thanks for sharing your pix!
I often mistake chores and blog reading….hmmm. So glad you looked up!!
just perfect.
Your ‘morning chores’ sound like mine! {wink,wink} As always, you’ve shared beautiful photos of a serene sunrise with those of us who aren’t so crazy about getting up early enough to see it. (yours truly) 😀
What a beautiful capture of nature by you!!!!
What’s best about the sunrises/sets you show here is the -progression- .. a lot of folks might take a pic or two and go about their business, but when you come back a half hour later, it really makes an impact !
How quickly it can change but all is beautiful,
There is just something about sunrises and sunsets over water isn’t there? What a gift!

Ahhh what a delightful way to start the day. You have a beautiful view. 🙂
Beautiful!
I guess the sun was sleeping in that day.
