the last weekend of summer season

so far so good as the summer season winds down in this area with today the start of the Labor Day Holiday weekend--- the last weekend of summer..

 

a lil' different but the same

.. another pleasant morning...from atop the Sunset Beach Bridge looking up the ICW (Intracoastal Waterway) on the drive over to the beach before Sunrise.. oh those Crepuscular Rays.. looking east over the Dunes before Sunrise..looking over my shoulder toward the western sky an 'eggie-Moon' 

a nice time of the year on the beach

quiet..peaceful very few people as the end of the tourist season is here... nice

quieter and quieter

lots of scattered rain up/down the coast and around us this early morning.. little to no wind which brought the 'no-see-ums' out in full force on the beach before sunrise.. the mornings are getting quieter and quieter with very few 'peeps' walking--nice  :)

foggy

what fog.. early this morning at sunrise.. heavier on the mainland than at the beach.. not many people around as school has started down this way-- the  'tourons' have fled back home-- yippee :) :)

the Sun breaks thru the fog

'butt' it was 'Moonin' it too .. got to the beach well before sunrise in the dark as the Full Moon was setting in the western sky.. always nice to see the sunrise
