Sunrise is back --at the beach

after 3 days of heavy fog and clouds mixed with rain showers today was a quiet early morning as I arrived on the beach before sunrise .. I saw just 2 peeps walking along with 4 dog-walkers off in the distance to the west the entire time I was there.... just like I like it-- nice and quiet with few peeps around..

back on the beach-- Sunset Beach

with clouds and rain the the forecast for this morning I decided to head on over to the beach as I usually do before sunrise.. 'kewl' temps at 43* compared to where I was a few days ago in the Caribbean with temps at 90*.. just a few peeps around..  John the Jogger... Lu and Steve.. and one or two others.. more birds than peeps.. a pleasant mostly sunny day into the mid 60's after a few sprinkles of rain mid-morning
