red sky in the morning

so it just had to be.. a storm building just offshore from the beach on this Labor Day holiday weekend..  the local dogwalkers getting ready to leave the beach as the storm clouds get closer..after leaving the island looking across the ICW watched a water spout starting up over Little River Inlet a few times but never developed

before sunrise near ICW on causeway

water spout starting over Little River Inlet

calm quiet at the beach

at Sunrise on Sunset Beach.. no fishing for me again this morning--low low tide and the water was not clear...  mostly local dogwalkers  with a few tourons out this early --but very few...  yippee :)

pier.. beach ..sunrise.. lake

my usual early morning trek on over to the beach at sunrise.. nice morning.. no wind.. decided not to fish as the only thing that's been biting are the no-see-ums and they were out in full force this morning..

'beachy' at sunrise

getting quieter and quieter as more tourons leave the area.. nicer and nicer

a few early morning pics

from the causeway and the lake.. and a note from my buddy outside our kitchen window

almost unheard of 'kewl temps' before Sunrise..and Charleston

this time of August ....64* wind NNE at 15-20 and surf's up .. uglee dirty water as I 'wet a line' in the surf once again... ocean water sure felt good though at 83* as most walkers on the beach this morning had sweatshirts on.. I should have..brrrrr..  decided the last minute to do a 'day trip' down Rt 17 to Charleston --our favorite city.. nice for picture taking and just walking Battery Park and Rainbow Row.. a pretty city
