Betsy and I enjoy the beach at Ocean Isle, North Carolina, for many reasons, but the sunrises we can enjoy from our room definitely ranks high on the list. I captured this image on our most recent trip to Ocean Isle Beach in early December. Upon seeing sights like this the most appropriate response is “The heavens declare the glory of God”.

Betsy and I really enjoy our visits to Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina. For the past few years we’ve been going in both May and early December. (We can’t stay away from that delicious Calabash seafood for too long!)
Although the weather is usually warmer in May, we enjoy our December visits because we get a good view of the sunrise from the balcony of our room at the Islander Inn, as you can see from the photo above.
So, although we are on vacation, both Betsy and I make an attempt to get up each morning at sunrise.
On some mornings there is a thick bank of clouds on the horizon,
although patches of blue were often soon seen in other parts of the sky.
Some mornings all we could do was stand in awe at the beauty of God’s creation.

This is my post for Skywatch Friday, a meme for sharing views of the sky from all over the world. To see more, or to join and share your own photos of the sky, click HERE.
There is, to me, something special about the sky and the ocean together. It may be that the ocean magnifies the beauty of the sky. White clouds in a beautiful sky above the sea reminds of the glories of God’s creation.

Sunrise on our last morning at the beach gave us a silhouette of the Ocean Isle Beach pier with the red sky reflected in the water.
