more brrrrrrrr....

wow.. the NORTH winds made the 34º temps colder than normal as I drove over to the beach at Sunrise this morning... brrrrr

a non-sunrise at 40th street

decided to walk across the dunes-walkway at 40th street where I normnally surf-fish in season... just a cold drary non-sunrise kinda morning.. no much going on.. headed over to the lake where the Osprey was back around his nest

sunrise.. beach..lake and fishing

drove over to the beach for a nice Sunrise.. stopped by the lake on the way home.. the fishing picked up as the Largemouth Bass were biting.. caught 3.. had 5 hits.. all catch and release.. very few birds flying at the lake.. saw these two Pink Flamingos grazing in a backyard on the bank across the lake.. I thought.. 'was I in Bonaire on one of our cruises in the Caribbean or back in Brooklyn' --- you gotta know Brooklyn to get that  :) :)

a pleasant day with some birds

drove over to the beach ..  a nice colorful sunrise...then on to the lake.. where the Pelicans and Bald Eagle were around.. a plane trail shot with the Moon .. a couple of cropped Moon pics even in the daylight..  on an unusual note.. we went down to Costco and Myrtle Beach today instead of our regular Sunday jaunt.. big mistake.. way too crowded.. 68º and sunny most of the day
