Right after I took the pictures of the lunar eclipse, I made a startling discovery! My digital camera, the one that was hidden away in a dark corner of my closet for so long, had the capacity of taking photographs that could easily parallel a DSLR's quality! As someone who had been endlessly dreaming of buying a high performance DSLR, I soon realized that all I needed was to give my poor camera a chance to perform. And, perform it did! So, the dream of a DSLR slowly faded away as I set out one morning with a newly found love for my camera to get some pictures of the sunrise.
After groggily waking up on a Saturday, I rushed to the east coast park and reached just in time for the sunrise. I made my way up to the stone jetty and waited with baited breath for dawn to break. In my mind ( I day dream .. a lot!), I could see a flawless sunrise devoid of any clouds gently rising up from the horizon . But, as luck would have it, huge clouds hovered around the horizon and my day dream of a perfect sunrise soon dissolved in a fluffy cloud.Nevertheless, the sky turned into a glorious shade of amber which was no less breathtaking!

Standing on the jetty and watching the beginning of a new day unfold before your very eyes is an humbling experience. It signifies a fresh start to life, filled with experiences and moments that are worth living for.
After my moment in the sun (literally!) , I headed back home . Lugging my camera, I precariously made my way down and felt a sense of fulfillment. Waking up on a Saturday morning to watch a surreal sunrise was totally worth it!
While walking home, i came across these vibrant yellow blooms that in some way reminded me of the sunrise i had just witnessed. The yellow popped against the trees and looked like tiny droplets of sunshine falling from the sky.

All in all, I had a very productive and fulfilling morning. Not only did i witness the sunrise that i have wanted to for so long, i also saw nature in its bounty.
As i cuddled back into the covers and slowly went into a peaceful state of slumber, I smiled. I was , to put in the simplest of words, happy! :)
