oh what a pretty 'triskaidekaphobia kinda morning'

it was my usual drive over to the beach before Sunrise.. met a 4-legged 'friend' and 'regular' eating flowers along the way... 40th street once again.. quiet before the weekend 'tourons' hit the island.. nice 60* up to 75* this afternoon..'let the sun shine in'... stopped at the Veterans Park just across the Bridge on the mainland on the drive home.. also a stop just up the road at the Lake seeing some 'friends'-- of the feathered variety.. 'wet a line' for a few minutes--- no luck on this Friday--check the date :)

greeted along Main St before Sunrise
