This was the first time I've ever seen a blue heron on the beach. He was just standing in the ocean and watching the waves and enjoying the ocean breeze. So cool. There's a little video of him if you swipe through to the end :) #acolorstory

Sending some color & light to everyone that had a grey yucky day today that was filled with sleet, snow and/or rain.

"Courage. Kindness. Friendship. Character. These are the qualities that define us as human beings, and propel us, on occasion, to greatness."
RJ Palacio

My thoughts are with all of the people in California impacted by the awful wildfires and the courageous firefighters battling the horrible blazes.
Also it's amazing to hear all of the wonderful stories of the different acts of kindness & compassion that are happening there. This photo is from the memorial at the boardwalk that honors all firefighters, and especially those 343 firefighter casualties from 9/11.

"The universe is transformation; our life is what our thoughts make it." ~Marcus Aurelius

On my walk at the lake the cherry trees were in transition - there were still a few remaining blossoms, but the rest of the cherry trees were wearing the colors of fall. Both parts were beautiful. The change of the seasons can be seen & felt everywhere...with the weather, with the foods we eat, with the light & the time (setting the clocks back). Finding beauty, grace, gratitude & hope in this season.

Hope your Halloween was filled with more treats than tricks! This haunted house ride on the boardwalk opened in 1964...I used to go on it when I was a kid & loved it.
The only haunted house ride that I'll go on now is the Haunted Mansion in Disney World. I'm not a fan of scary movies or books or rides :)

“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.” ~President John Quincy Adams

Loved going to early voting today at the bingo hall at the county fairgrounds. So thankful for the privilege to vote & also grateful for all the volunteers.

"Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver."
~Barbara De Angelis

Found the east coast version of love locks on the fishing pier by the boardwalk. I've never been to Paris, but I hear that they don't allow them on the bridges there any more.

"It never failed to amaze me how the most ordinary day could be catapulted into the extraordinary in the blink of an eye."

Just a normal day on the boardwalk today!

A little about me

Hello & welcome!

I'm pleased to meet you. My name is Dawn Smith and I'm a wife, mother, art photographer & designer. A perfect day would be spent on the beach with my family...with a book in one hand and my camera in the other.

My art is inspired by the wonders of nature and celebrates the beauty that's found in the ordinary, everyday moments of life.

I believe:

that the glass is half full.

that happiness is found in the quiet moments

that the best things in life aren't things.

that less is more.

that kindness matters.

in giving back (I donate a portion of all sales to a local cancer center).

I hope that my work will bring light & happiness to your home. Thanks so much for visiting!
