drove over to the beach on this early pretty Friday morning.. a bit of haze along the water's edge.. 63*.. more peeps than usual on the beach as this holiday Easter week is nearing an end.. 73* and sunny all day until the clouds moved in thru the late afternoon with a forecast for rain in the overnite
a few pics on this early Tuesday morning..headed to the beach.. 57*.. a nice morning.. stopped at the Lake to 'wet a line' but 'they' were around being a PITA.. headed home.. got up to 82* in the afternoon and sunny..
on a pretty early morning before sunrise I drove over to the beach at 40th street.. sure were a lot less peeps around than I saw yesterday--thankfully.. back to normal.. 54* with clear skies.. nice and quiet.. up to 71* for the high temp this afternoon
it was a drive over to the beach this early Easter Sunday morning.. 40* .. thought it would be nice.. then as I got nearer the beach I saw all the cars.. 'billions and billions' of them-- well not quite.. then I remembered--the annual Easter Sunday Church services on the beach right next to the Pier.. cars were parked all over the place-- and this was well before sunrise.. all the public parking was full.. including the Gazebo parking lot as well as the entire Pier parking lot....church services are usually held there every week on Sunday morning in the summer months too.. I started to head to my usual spot on the west end at 40th street-- and more cars.. I turned around and decided just to head back over to the mainland to Veteran's Park where I found one other person doing their daily walk thru the park.--- ahhh nice and quiet.. I snapped some pics.. peaceful was the word.. a short stop over at the Lake to 'wet a line' without success.. a nice sunny day overall as the temp got up to 64*
a nice quiet Easter Sunday dinner.. Italia of course so I opted for a favorite.. homemade Raviolis.. with the 'usual suspects' -- meatballs.. sausage -both hot and sweet.. bracciole.. and to be a lil' different today some Barolo red Italian wine.. a slice or two of the traditional homemade Pizza Rustica .. hats off to the chef in our house Pat. and as always I stay out of her way and out of the kitchen
31* at the beach with luckily no wind.. brrrrrrrrrrrrr... the 'tourons' were around.. not many as I would have thought on this Easter Holiday weekend.. sunny most of the day with temps only into the mid 50's

a
kewler early morning 37* at the beach ..winds were up at 15+mph out of
the north--not good.. very few peeps around.. I didn't stay that long..
stopped at the Lake after leaving the island to 'wet a line'.. looks
like the fish were 'off their beds' and in a feeding mode.. caught two
Largemouth Bass--catch and release of course... a short Video at Sunrise https://youtu.be/npFp0AhXrs0
