a nice Sunrise on the East End-- and 400,000 Visitor Hit

just wanted to say THANX to all who follow and click on this Blog... today it recorded its 400,000 visitor hit.. last June 2025 it recorded the 300,000 visitor hit mark.. I try to keep the photos posting especially on our Travels cruising the world on Holland America --doing what we like to do best-- without any mention of politics and negativity... many many thanx again.. it is most appreciated..  

 

now for a lil' bit of Sunrise arrived on the beach on the East End where parking was a bit better than my usual west end at 40th street these days.. a busy Saturday morning with dog-walkers and peeps all over the beach..52*F.. a stop at the Lake to 'wet a line'-- zilch..  getting up to 68*F by late morning.. a nice sunny day

a chilly early morning before Sunrise

a chilly early morning as I arrived on the beach before Sunrise nearby the Pier area.. I guess the temps kept a lot of peeps away today.. just 34*F with a noticeable chill in the air.. a lot different than Wednesday morning's 61*F.. clear skies made for a nice Sunrise.. stopped by the Lake on the drive home and 'wet a line'--no hits.. checked the Lake water temp 46.9*F with my trusty infrared thermometer.. air temps up to just 60*F by the early afternoon-- nice in the sun but not in the shade.. another pretty day

crossing the Sunset Beach Bridge over to the Island before Sunrise
