not a complete bust..

a nice break from the overnite rain.. I'm sure they'll be more rain on the way .. these snapped at the Sunset Beach Park along the ICW  .. ahhhh.. then an early afternoon jaunt down to the Mall opposite the nearby Myrtle Beach Airport's runway for a few pics.. 

Moon-set

early morning ..overcast.. no sunrise.. fish ain't biting..  soooo Plan B .. da' Moon setting .. oh go on and click on it-- it's 'cheesy' :)

'no sunrise --so improvise'

a dark cloudy dreary early morning before the non-sunrise... Ribbonfish--'King Mackeral Candy'-- plenty of them making the rod bend on the ICW on the lil' Pier under the Sunset Beach Bridge

looking East along the ICW

looking West down the ICW

the sun is trying

to pop out of its shell but all for naught..  rains came thru most of the day--heavy at times.. another uglee day..

storm just off the beach before sunrise

on the drive over to Sunset Beach island along the causeway this early morning before sunrise (ha-- never happened)  thought for sure a waterspout would have formed with the type of clouds and the path of this compact storm.. it was running just off the beach in a path from Little River Inlet to the West to Tubbs Inlet to the East.. not one drop of rain fell on the beach.. only 2 cars in the Pier's parking lot one of them an employee

 

just uglee cloudy mornings

been like that for the past 3 days.. plenty of clouds-- and no sunrises.. even quiet at the beach this morning at 40th street.. where did the 'tourons' go ..

a 'double pot of gold'

decided to go over to the beach even with rain and heavy storms just offshore in the forecast this early morning.. got to the beach and there was a sliver of an opening just before Sunrise with storm clouds in the rest of the sky.. a slight drizzle stopped as I got to the beach.. glad I went.. walking over the Dunes walkway onto the beach near the Pier I looked toward the West and a Rainbow appeared.. you mix the Sun and some rain and voila' a Rainbow should happen.. in a few seconds a second Rainbow.. hoping for a third but it never happened but could see it trying.. snapped a couple of Panos with my Note 4 phone.. the rest with my 80d.. another great early morning at the beach

Panorama .. double Rainbow and Sunrise

double Rainbow looking West over Pier-House

before Sunrise over the Dunes

Sunrise

a lit up sky

back doing what I like in the early morning hour before and at Sunrise at the beach... great sky .. ' red sky in the morning..sailor take warning'  ...uh oh.. so far no rain in sight but I know it's on the way.. 'o-fish-ally' moved south this day in 1990 three days after I retired

red sky before sunrise -- Calabash River

red sky over the ICW on Sunset Beach Bridge

a blur :) :)

okay bottomline.. today was a 'blur'.. no 'to the beach sunrise-picture taking' or cameras for me.. it was 3 days of a liquid 'die-et'.. heckuva way to lose 5#'s which I surely ain't complaining about ..then a dose of Propofol-- the Michael Jackson concoction-- and NO I still can't do the Moon Walk--- hay Doc 'putting a camera where the sun doesn't shine' was not my idea.. all is well.. thanx to Dr Vukov--see you in 5 years
