Happy St Patrick's Day

after heading over to the beach at Sunrise this Happy St Patrick's Day early morning these guys were celebrating already..   

 

a 'kewl' and chilly early morning greeted me as I walked on to the beach on the West End at 40th Street this early morning before the 722am Sunrise.. low clouds along the horizon made for a 'late Sunrise' -- after yesterday's cold front and some storms-- although not as bad as forecast-- passed thru our area temps dropped down to 38*F this morning on the beach along with a 10-15mph wind..e-gads.. back to winter weather once again even with the original forecast from the other day calling for lows in the 50's and highs at or near 70*F.. even with the low temp the peeps were out in abundance.. lots of dog walkers along with a couple of families all walking West toward the Little River Inlet Jetties from 40th street.. after leaving the beach had to stop at the Lake for a few casts.. too windy so gave it up quickly..

 

the Ides of March

 "Et Tu, Brute".. Beware the Ides of March

 okay.. okay.. so you know the low clouds were in and I didn't venture over to the beach this early morning.. it warmed up nicely to 69* and sunny until the clouds and rain moved in late this afternoon.. gale warnings with severe thunderstorms are forecast for the overnite and all day tomorrow

                               

 

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
