a welcomed Sunrise

after a couple of days of early morning clouds and rain .. a nice sunrise as I drove over to the beach on this early Friday morning.. seems that a lot of the peeps are gone.. maybe because school starts in the Carolinas soon.. it would be a welcomed relief from the tourist season.. another hot day with temps in the high 80s with humidity right up there also

arriving at the beach before Sunrise

surf rolling over-- Trop Storm Henri well offshore

Sunrise breaking thru the low clouds

looking west toward Little River Inlet

leaving the beach along the dunes walkway

this lil' dood is here along the dunes every early morning

 Intracoastal Waterway from the Sunset Beach Bridge

passing by the Calabash River on the drive home
