Vietnam War Veterans Day

for those of us who proudly served and were there-- Bien Hoa, Vietnam 1967-68  ..a big salute from this Vietnam Veteran to those who paid the ultimate price so we all can be free.. let there be peace on Earth😢

a Sunrise-- finally

after many days this past week of heavy cloud cover in the early morning hours.. it was over to the beach at the Gazebo nearby the Pier.. the parking lot was over half full and many more peeps were out and about.. spring break for the colleges this week.. families also walking the beach.. 62*F with clear skies with some haze as the Sun made it thru at 708am.. temps later in the day up to 75*F.. a short Sunrise Video posted on My YouTube site at this link..  https://youtu.be/A_A6fyx9zaU?si=73tK5RGvfXtiHiWW

continue in this first week of Spring.. 98% cloud cover so no beach for me again this early morning.. 47*F added to the weather mix .. sun by mid-afternoon with temps at 64*F.. a couple of PierCam pics showing the beach at around 7am- NOT nice is all I can say.. hoping for a better weather change in the days to come

Sunrise -- the West End

it was over to the beach on the West End at 40th Street on Sunset Beach this early Sunday morning.. a bank of low clouds along the horizon made for a pretty and colorful Sunrise.. the usual dog-walkers were out and about as well as seeing Curt.. Pam and of course Sofie the 'hot dog- dog'.. Sofie-a favorite of mine always looking for her Charlie Bear treats and constantly in motion.. 57* and sunny.. by late-morning temps were at 75*.. just a pretty day.. a Sunrise Video on My YouTube site at this link https://youtu.be/wB4f2NMDCuc?si=3Y5C4_Gankk_kLD3
