nice to see Mister Sun

once again after all these past few days of rain off/on.. did our walk on the beach at Sunrise this morning with super high tides from this past Saturday's Full Moon making it a bit more difficult to walk to the jetties as the tide continued to rise and block the beach access.. we walked a bit more than  half way  and then extended our walk back to the pier.. a bit of a shortened route but still  well over 3 miles total.. on the drive home had to stop as a small Gator crossed over from the ICW marsh to Oyster Bay Lake.. had to pull over snap a few quik-pics.. as he scurried away

the Moon peeking out behind the heavy clouds in the western sky

what's left of Mad inlet--now filled in

he stopped and posed for a smiley-pic

then off he went back home to the Lake

rain rain and more rain..

 looks like we'll miss this Total Lunar Eclipse with a Supermoon on Sunday night --so what else is new--with all the rain in the area up and down the East Coast ...has been for 3 days now.. more on the way ..even without the rain the clouds will do it in...  oh well

fishermen.. birds and a Sunrise

this morning.. while on our daily 4+ mile walk on the beach at Sunrise saw this 'touron- fisherman' at the East Jetty at Little River Inlet-- about a 100 yds across the state line into SC from NC..told him about it a couple of days before..he said it was a long walk from the last dunes walkway access .. then again we knew that.. so what did he come up with.. vrrrroooommm... vrrrrooooommmmm

nicely done.. no walkin' for this guy

another walk on a pretty morning

back to the 'act' again.. walking just over 4 miles this morning ..started before Sunrise down to the Little River Inlet Jetty....69*  and a 5mph North breeze.. it don't get no more 'better-er' than that.. it's a weekend Saturday morning so a lot of dogwalkers and weekend tourons were out and about

no beach sunrise pics today

had doctor's appointment early..so no beach walk either..
