Let all the earth rejoice, all the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in light, and darkness tries to hide
It trembles at his voice, trembles at his voice

However, I had an idea a few weeks ago and I found myself with some time, energy, and inspiration to try it out today.  The result isn’t exactly what I’ve been picturing in my mind (although it is close), so I’ll have to do some tweaking to my setup and have another go at it in a few weeks.

This is the view we woke up to just about every morning – shot while standing on my bedroom balcony.

And a couple more pictures of the beauty that surrounded us all week.

It took two tries, on two separate nights, to get some family pictures down at the ocean.  The first try resulted in chopped limbs and several out of focus pictures.  The second try may have ended in better results if Jubilee hadn’t been so opposed to the idea, as you can see from the second picture.  So, the keeper is the first one, I do believe.
