Morning Glory

We have been in Florida a whole week already. Time flies when you are having a good time. Our house that we are renting is located right by the beach. From our roof top deck we have ocean view.

Weatherwise it has been a little mixed so far with some sunny and some cloudy days as well as some days with rain showers. We have enjoyed both some excursions as well as relaxing beach days. The weather here is probably pretty normal for the season. It is more or less what we had when we were here last year. Temperature range in a comfortable zone between 65 and 75 F/ 15 to 22 C.

My favorite moments of the day are sunrise and sunset. There is something magical about the hour just before sunrise or sunset (the blue hour). I am totally in love with the rosy and pink morning hues and to having the beach almost to my self.

I am not really much of a runner normally but I love it when I have a scenery like this. The beach that stretches out endlessly . The sound of the waves hitting the shore. So peacefull and so relaxing but yet so energizing as well. To me this is the perfect way to start a day. Sun is fully up by 8 am and the very first rays of light come around at 7 am. The magic hour is between 7 and 8 am. I am the first one to wake up and sneak out of the house for a morning run.


Even if it may look like I am totally alone there are always a few people out walking a long the shore collecting sea shells or someone standing on the beach fishing. But there are far fewer people out on the beach at this hour than later during the day. 


I see the fishermen on their boats each morning. Fishing from the beach is also a popular activity. I have no idea what one can catch here. 

We are enjoying our days here and the remaining week we have left here in FL will likely pass by very quickly. So far a good mix between lazy days by the pool or at the beach combined with excursions of different kinds. Life is easy and good here.

Så vackert! Visst är det underbart att ha stranden för sig själv (nästan) tidigt på morgonen. Så fridfullt. Ha en fortsatt riktigt skön semester här i Florida! Kram

Underbara strandbilder!
Det är något alldeles speciellt med vattnet och vågorna och sanden. :)
Härligt att kunna ha mycket plats på stranden och inte behöva trängas.
Kram!

Ja, ljuset ja...det drar ut mig också. Vid beachen är det ju exceptionellt vackert, morgon och kväll.
OCH jag vill också bara gå, gå och gå med min kamera.
Kan tro att vädret är lite si och så, det är det här också.
Fortsätt att ha det så jättefint i FLA.
Kramar!!

Ika, tack. Heeelt underbart här. Njuter massor.
Kram!

Anne-Marie, ja det känns underbart att ha haft turen att hitta ett litet smultronställe som denna beach.
Kram!

Annika, det har varit lite blandat väder som sagt. Någon dag med regn och just nu lite kyligare temperaturer men så länge solen skiner så gör det mig inget om det är lite småkyligt.
Kram!

Eleonor, ja gud ja. Det känns som om hela själen är inlagt på spa genom att vara här och njuta av stranden på det här sättet. Tack så mycket.
Kram!
