quiet early morning..

 a nice early morning drive over to the island well before sunrise.. stopped at the lake just to have a look see at my fishing spot.. sometimes it pays to be careful and look close to who was about to greet me.. big teeth as he approached the bank.. I left there and headed over to the island and on to the beach.. 63*.. most of the regulars'--the dog-walkers-- had already started their daily trek toward the west and Little River Inlet .. I stayed on the beach around 36th street where it was nice and quiet with hardly anyone around.. a pretty day with temps up to 78* in the afternoon 

                                  darker than it looks.. he greeted me before sunrise at the lake

a beautiful early morning

 an early forecast for a pretty morning.. a drive over to the island and on to the beach before Sunrise still in the dark at 645am.. a very quiet but 'kewl' morning with temps at 60*.. very few peeps this morning.. ocean water temps continue to drop now down to 73*.. a pretty day with sunny skies and temps at 73*

 

 

more heavy clouds

a drive over to the island before the sunrise hour brought yet another early morning with heavy cloud cover--58*.. at least it wasn't raining today.. stopped at the lake on the drive home and landed one itty bitty Largemouth Bass.. snapped a pic.. pet him on the head and released him.. he was happy-- I was smiling.. got up to 76* and sunny in the afternoon.. nice day

with the past 2 early mornings with light rain and heavy cloud cover no chance of a sunrise as I drove over to the island both days.. 60*   even tried 'wetting a line' at the lake without success.. a few birds here and there.. temps in the afternoon only 67*-- Fall season is here

a smidge on the 'kewl side'

a drive over to the island on a kewl early morning at 67* with a strong North wind made me pass on walking on to the beach.. a lot of low clouds with a subdued sunrise worked out as well as could be expected.. up to 72* this afternoon .. nice in the sun.. a bit kewler in the shade.. the car needed a waxing so got it done.. hasn't been done in over a month.. getting lazy I guess  ..all in all a nice day

the sun was shining

 after a couple of early mornings blown out by heavy clouds and rain finally a sunrise on a pretty day.. 54* with no wind and flat seas.. the 'kewl air' is upon us once again.. plenty of the regular dog-walkers moving away from my location on the beach heading toward the Little River Inlet jetties which was fine by me.. up to 75* and sunny by mid-morning and for the rest of the day.. beautiful  :)
