clouds and nice

a cloudy early morning at sunrise so skipped the beach and headed over to the ICW to wet a line.. first started in the park... nada.. then moved over to the small Pier under the bridge.. more nada.. the sun peaked out late and the clouds disappeared making it another nice sunny day..only got up to the high 80's -- a break after all those 90* days

whew .. a quiet Sunday morning

nice.. not many cars or people around then again it's well before 6am on the drive over to the beach .. water again was dirty brown with winds whipping from the SW at 20-25 so left the fishing rod in the truck--why bother..  headed down to Myrtle for a shopping day.. rains came thru around 6pm..

wind is up..sand is blowing

and it was still 'cookin' .. 82* before Sunrise at the beach.. plenty of dogwalkers-- the usual suspects..  up to 90* today until the downpour late morning..forecast shows in the 90's for the next two weeks except for tomorrow..

can it be topped..

after yesterday's sooper-dooper 'red sky in the morning' it was kinda hard to top that... this morning was a bust.. way too many low clouds spoiled any chance of a sunrise.. just went down to the beach ..stayed a while..snapped a few pics and I was outta there..

say what

'....sailor take warning'

 with this 'red sky in the morning'--- about 15 minutes before Sunrise at the beach today.. large strong thunderstorms overnite along with major storms just south of us that luckily went offshore and out to sea had this sky red.. a sunrise never developed as the low clouds took over .. actually turned into a nice day in the high 80's and sunny

look close.. the Gator is there on the bank

early at the beach

drove over to the beach well before Sunrise..had intended to fish the surf.. SW winds were up at 15-20.. water was running fast.. got back to uglee dirty grrenish brown --all churned up..not too good .. snapped some pics and headed home
