Carpe diem!!!

I awoke this morning to Sara yelling at me to get up...the sun was out!! Holy crimeny!! One slight detail...it was 5:00 in the morning!! But I jumped out of bed and we hiked about a half mile to see these amazing cliffs in a bay. I couldn't eliminate many photos that I took ...they are all amazing! So here they are...this is just what we saw at 5:00 AM:
Sunlight!!


This is where we are hiking towards (notice the old graveyard in the foreground):






We had to untie this gate to access a field to walk through:


Wild iris:


A field of thistle:


Sheep's wool blown or rubbed onto a fence:















Here's looking back at Jan and Pete's. Notice the peat fire burning (the smoke):




































We headed down to the beach:








Patterns in the sand:






Artwork courtesy of the ocean (this is just water playing with the sand):
























Then we hiked up this trail:









Coming back down:





View of Hillswick:

















Another view of Jan and Pete's place:








I'm sending this off now...it's 10:00 AM. I'll write more later.
