a dreary windy morning at the beach

after stopping by the lake to do a lil' fishin' I left there after 15 minutes with just one bump with a hookup but no catches .. the winds picked up a bit so decided to head on over to see what the surf looked like...  winds were blasting from the South at 15-20mph with a slight drizzle every now and then.. not a nice day to surf fish.. so I didn't.. met Tom as he pulled into the Pier lot..

 pretty flowers at How Sweet It Is on a gloomy day

the old Sunset Beach Swing Bridge .. now open for tours

appropriate--for as many times it had broken down over the years

not nice skies at the lake

birds were out there and happy

surf was up and sloppy

new walkway at the Gazebo area
