Soft the Dawn/Morning Light on the Ocean
This poster is collaboration between Alyssa Gray (Adgray) and myself, upon seeing my picture “Morning Light on the Ocean” she was inspired to write this wonderful poem. When I read the poem, I knew it belonged with this picture. We decided to combine the two into a unique poster, where poetry and photography complement each other. We hope you’ll like it.

Mary,
I love the original posting of this shot, but now with Alyssa’s poem added and the provision of this in poster format, it has taken on a whole new life and meaning…
Just gets better and better!
And this time I noticed the soft morning light touching the trunk and branches of the small tree in the foreground!!
So serenely beautiful.
Good luck with competition, by the way.

Yes, I use to love waking up there on the island and looking out the glass doors at this every morning. The ocean takes on the colors of the sky and is still like a lake in the morning before the sun comes up.. It’s just lovely.
