Getting up early in the morning is a gift I give to myself. Everything looks so clean and fresh and made just for me as usually no one else is there with which to enjoy it. The solitude mid such beauty never fails to put me in a worshipful mind that seems clearer than normal, more open. Seeing what is before me on the horizon and in the water's edge at my feet brings the large and the small together as a unified thing. This is my cathedral.

Long morning shadows.
It won't be too long before many of the kayaks will be out on the water for a holiday paddle.
The setting sun provided it's own pyrotechnics before fireworks began. Later, the rim of the bay was outlined by many displays as neighborhood groups came out to enjoy the color and balmy weather.

These photos are absolutely break taking. I would have loved to be one of the kayakers there!
I too love early mornings for the serenity and solitude. There's nothing quite like it.
Beautiful photography!
It is wonderful having one's own cathedral isn't it? I have mine here in Seattle so I do relate! Your photos are breathtaking! Thanks for sharing the beauty. Have a great week, Mark!

I would like see those colourful mornings in person. Two last photos are beautifully promising a wonderful day.
I am awake during summers until 2 am when we can see all those changing colours at lake in our summer place.
The sun is rising then ( tomorrow morning 3.22am :) behind the hill, so, I can not see it, I am sleeping then.
Nice weekend to you and beautiful colours!
Thank you for sharing your photo's of Long Island with us. You have an amazing "eye". My Mom lives in Southold, so many of your photo's are very familiar to me. Again.. thank you for sharing your gift.
The light in these photos is really amazing!
Nice job.
I can see why this is your cathedral. What a wonderful place for thoughts/meditations and observations. Thank you for sharing.
The skies are amazing. Love those colours.
