sunrise on the beach-- after days of clouds

after 2 more days of early clouds and rain.. it sure was good to arrive on the beach before sunrise on a nice cloud-free early morning... a bit on the 'kewl' side but that was okay.. all the rain we got over the weekend was nothing in comparison to what Charleston got--- 4+ inches on Saturday flooding the downtown historic district and the surrounding areas as the rivers nearby overflowed .. the flooding extended outside of the city with many closed roadways.. what a mess they had.. our usual day-trip down that way was planned but has been postponed for a week or so.. Charleston is a 2.5 hour drive down the coast on Rt 17.. about 125 miles south of us

back to the rain

the early morning clouds and rain continue over the past 3 days with a lot more rain on the way.. we've had a couple of weeks of  uglee cloudy and rainy weather pre-Spring.. a short 'wet Video' from My YouTube Channel..  https://youtu.be/-NOZsg6FIzw?si=ERGyjFkNV21wdrML

finally the Sun is shining

after 5 early mornings of clouds.. rain and fog.. and more clouds a nice quiet sunrise as I drove over to the beach.. walking on to the beach I saw 4 peeps and 2 dogs.. quiet it was.. so nice.. a beautuful sunny 73* blue sky kinda day.. .. the gators were out at the lake as I stopped by there on the drive home.. a short Sunrise Video from My YouTube Channel.. https://youtu.be/1VCMr03JJBU?si=bnpPQHAVS_0WZ-oL
