some early mornings are just not so nice-- uglee is a better word.

over to the beach at 550am a half hour before sunrise.. even though plenty of clouds decided to go on at 40th street.. a couple of storms passed by well offshore.. actually was looking to snap a 'Moon shot' in the west but way too hazy and more clouds.. didn't run into any rain while I was there.. just an uglee early morning.. right after the non-sunrise at 621am looked down toward Myrtle Beach--another storm much closer to the beach heading my way.. plenty of dog-walkers out there walking down toward the Inlet.. I beat feet figuring it didn't look so good.. .. crossed the Bridge and went over to the Park on the ICW to snap a couple... then the fireworks began-- monster long bolts of lightning just off the beach hugging the coast..not nice
