Jackie: What time were you out? It sounds just beautiful. I am coming in a few weeks and am jealous of all of you down there. Does it happen often?
This is a local friend, photographer, artist, genius who regularly captures the spectacular and the minute...i hope he doesn't mind me posting this...he's a SoWaller too!

just a little further...
i was preparing to send out my image last night when i decided to take the camera and tripod down to the beach to see if i could find something better to send then what i had prepared for today.
what i found when i arrived was a rare occurrence of bioluminescent material rolling into the beaches as far as the eye could see. there aren't really good words to describe
how beautiful this event is. the line in the image is where the water breaks at the second sand bar. as the water breaks the bioluminescent creatures glow
and streak across the waves like soft lightning. . i have never seen it this pronounced or so bright. this image was actually taken when it was subsiding. when i first arrived...it was simply breathtaking.
all of the waves were glowing.
i had to walk about mile down the beach to get to a spot where there weren't any lights from beach homes behind me blowing out the images.
thankfully watercolor has much less light pollution than seaside and i was able to start shooting and figuring it out there as i made my way to grayton state park where it was pitch dark.
i love events like these. just when i am resigned to send the damned picture of the dog with the tongue stuck out because that was the most interesting thing that i saw that day,
i go a little further and i find myself surrounded by this.
to the eye the light appears an emeral green. but i elected to keep it straight out of the camera rather than fussing with it.
wish you could have been there to see it.
simply magical.
and the stars...
how i had missed the stars.
