ahhhh.. a smidge warmer

52* this morning.. a lot better than the previous few early mornings at the beach.. low clouds spoiled the sunrise.. just 3 others on the beach near the pier..  stopped on the causeway as the sun popped out about the low clouds.. then on over to the Park at the ICW for a few snaps.. not a bite as I again 'wet a line' at the lake before heading home.. nice day all around with temps getting up to 65* this afternoon with sunny skies

low clouds made for a not so great Sunrise
