A moment to breathe  by orangecrush

A moment to breathe

Things are starting to get a little stressful at work! Its typical in my line of work and it usually comes in waves! When its good its good...that's what keeps me going in this career!
Sights like this are such a gift for the eyes and soul. It does wonders to stop for a moment and get to the ocean and take a deep breath!
Where do you go for a deep breath?
I cant say thank you enough for all of your kind words and support! Thank you all for stopping by!
BRAVO! (favorite of mine.)

Fabulous shot Jerry. Hope the stress passes. Guess from your comment that it will.
June 21st, 2012  
the whole picture is fabulous but my favorite part of the picture is at the very bottom, where the small river of ocean water flows to a peak. there's small sections of foam flowing around the small dome of sand...it matches up/positively complements the rays of sunlight :)

The lake, books and wonderful photos help me stay stress free. It also helps to remember it's a state of mind, you can always change your mind. Lovely shot!

Gorgeous!
June 21st, 2012  
Stunning, gorgeous shot. I know the feeling - I have worked harder in the last six months than I did in the two previous years combined. That's why I escaped to Tulum for a week - desperately needed to recharge my batteries!
June 21st, 2012  
Gorgeous Jerry.
June 21st, 2012  
Love the whole shot, but fav for the water capture.

There is nothing like watching a sunset over an ocean (or any body of water) to relieve stress. Beautiful shot.

Gorgeous golden sun! Love it against the blue.
June 21st, 2012  
Another beautiful picture of the ocean! You are so blessed to be able to see it whenever you want. I'd love that! I just went through a very stressful time of myself and, honestly, I found this site to be a great stress reliever. It's always nice to get positive feedback on your work, but I also find a lot of peace looking at beautiful scenes like yours. Great job!
June 21st, 2012  
I always feel so grateful to live near the ocean. You have certainly captured its magic here. Looking at this image would give anyone breathing room, I'd image. beautiful, Jerry.
June 21st, 2012  
Gorgeous! Like you, I head to the nearest body of water when stressed. In my case, it's Lake Ontario, but it's still soothing to my soul.
June 21st, 2012

I can relate, the past week has felt like a month! Hence my prolonged absence; and I'm still not certain how consistently I'll be able to post, although I take my daily shots. Great shot, very calming indeed! Wish I had that -___-

Almost a moment of breathless looking at this, Jerry...wonderful capture.
June 22nd, 2012

Fav, not only for the fab picture but because i needed to be reminded to breathe after my last couple of weeks, my closest ocean is an hour or so away so this is lovely.
June 22nd, 2012  
Wonderful shot Jerry, terrific capture of light and colours.
June 22nd, 2012  
All it takes is the favourite air we breathe
June 22nd, 2012  
boy jerry that was a good question - i had to step away and think..........for me it is when i get around big old trees like cottonwoods and elephants - good question - at least for me - i kind of a very crazy - intence - person - always - always searching.......... this IS a beautiful shot
June 22nd, 2012  
Absolutely marvelous! Fav!
June 22nd, 2012  
Just beautiful!!
June 22nd, 2012  
Love the yellows and blues you captured here!
June 22nd, 2012  
Instant fave, Jerry. I feel calmer just looking at this stunning photo. Like you, this is a busy time for me, and like you, I head to the beach. Nothing calms me down faster than a walk on the beach with my camera. I'm curious, what do you do for work?
June 22nd, 2012  
STUNNING.
i love how the rocks look with the silky water laying over them. If i had views like this around me, i would go there for a deep breath and relaxation as well!! gorgeous!
June 22nd, 2012  
jerry i am about to upgrade to a canon 7d. Is there a lens you would recommend? i am just debating whether i should just buy the body and continue using my lens, or a body and lens pkg. Do you have any suggestions or opinions :) ??
June 22nd, 2012  
@kdimagery Wow! How exciting! You are going to love that camera! I don't know how much help I can be with the lens decision but I bought the kit and used the kit lens for all my shots. It's a great lens. Now that I have so much more experience, I'm ready for something more! I have a canon 10-22mm wide angle (which I love!), a canon 100mm macro (I love that lens too!), and the kit lens. If you look back on my 1st year, most of the shots were with the kit lens! It's a great walk around lens when you can't lug around your whole kit! I hope I helped a little and not confused you more! :)
June 22nd, 2012  
Fantastic shot! Love everything about it!
June 23rd, 2012  
another absolutely stunning Plume photo! FAV
