Carolina sunrise. . . . . . . . . . .

With two mornings to awake to scenery such as the sunrise brings, 

I was up to greet the sun from the balcony ten floors above the 

quiet beach. 

Pelicans were already flying in their usual long lines across the pewter sea.

Shore birds were waiting on the beach, seeming to know exactly

 where to stand in the pathway of the golden rays.

Waves rolled in and then foamed onto the sand making really

beautiful designs in colors of molten gold, bronze and steel.

There is nothing quite as inspiring as drawing back the curtains, 

looking due east, and meeting the new day as the sun

 rises on the horizon at the ocean.

Enjoy each day - and these busy weeks ahead as we prepare for Christmas!

Carolina Beach Sunrise......

Dawn is magnificent...........when you're ocean front, nine floors up, facing due east. At 7:10 am the bank of clouds hover above the horizon and all looks fuzzy. The waves crashed onto the beach all night, lulling one to sleep.  In the early morning light, before the sun comes up, they appear gunmetal grey, still washing the empty beach where nothing moves except the early shorebirds.

Well my computer just did one of those annoying temporary crashes and washed away my almost completed post, grrrrrr!!!  So here goes, just photos of the beauty of Saturday and Sunday mornings at Carolina Beach this past weekend.  Enjoy.

The lights of the shrimp boats twinkled through the night..............early morning they made their way back to safe harbor, hopefully with a good catch.

Please don't forget to get out and VOTE today............I became an American citizen after living in this wonderful country many, many years...........because I wanted that privilege.  I voted early this year so mine is ready to be counted!
