nice day..almost

a decent Sunrise at the beach this morning...a stop at the Lake   snapped some pics of a group of larger birds flying around looking for breakfast over the water... a Bald Eagle.. an Osprey .. and 6 Turkey Buzzards all in the same grouping.. .. I was the only one who caught a fish.. a lil dood--Largemouth Bass-- catch and release of course..

by late afternoon the National Weather Service issued a Tornado Watch and severe Thunderstorm Warnings for this area and up the entire east coast to NYC.. all we got was a sprinkle and drizzle with a few thunder-boomers

not too much of a sunrise as I drove over to the beach this morning...by 9am the clouds gave way to sunshine once again.. temps this afternoon hit 71º.. a happy man am I  :)  ocean water temps finally got back up to 50º.. Lake water temps at 54º

foggy overcast early morning

as I drove over to the beach today... a non-sunrise with fog .. dreary... but what a beautiful day it turned into.. sun and 71º couldn't be a more perfect day..it sure is about time ..can't get those ice storms outtta my mind... maybe it's because I'm still doing some cleanup.. it never ends..

temps were up .. so I'm happy..

a nice sunrise at the beach this early morning...only41º but the forecast called for upper 60's... walked up on da' Pier to check it out and take a few pics ..Pier is of course still closed for the winter .. a lil' bit more of some small cleanup jobs from last week's ice storm but that was okay.. sunny and 68º is good

the usual morning..out early

stopped down at the beach at Sunrise... a few  walkers..dogs too..water was calm but cold..decided to have some fun and use my Samsung Galaxy S4 cell phone camera to take a Panorama with the Sunrise and the Moon setting over the pier..
after leaving the beach and island stopped at the ICW then over to the Lake .. BTW it's the President's Day holiday...does it really matter to us retired bums :)

Panorama Galaxy S4 phone.. Sun on left--Moon on right

an 'almost sunrise'..

things weren't looking too good this morning with the sun peeking just under the clouds for a short while.. but after yesterday's rain it really wasn't too bad...  by 9am the sun was out for the rest of the day.. 54º so can't complain.. down to Myrtle for a shopping Sunday jaunt
