Week 2: Expanse of Blue



  I took this picture at Corona Del Mar on Sunday at around noon. I was hoping to get a chance to take some photos of the ocean with the light reflecting off of the water for more of a dazzling, starry look and to see strong definition between the sky and the waves. Instead, I admired the textured, blue ripples created from the ocean's waves and how they mimic the soft, rounded streaks created from the clouds above. If there was a way that they horizon line could be smudged like pastels in a painting, the ocean and sky could be smudged together to create a canvas of blue. The pinks in the sky above add an extra layer of depth to the painting, as if the sun is awakening from a mid day nap, but unable to come to full consciousness yet. The picture reminds me of the vastness of nature, and how grateful I am to be a part of it.
