At the beach

Sunrise this morning at the beach here in Emerald Isle, NC.



Sun up into the clouds



Rays through the clouds



And while sitting on the deck, enjoying a last cup of coffee after my sunrise beach walk, I had a visitor!



First two photos taken with my camera, the last two photos with my phone. These were my favorites from about 150 shots between both camera and phone.

What a beautiful bit of beach too. And the waves roll in and out, as they wash the stress of life away . . .

Enjoy your time there!

Sight, sound, breeze, warmth, and salt air. I haven't been here in two years and I'm really glad to be here now.

Nothing like experiencing that beautiful sunrise at the ocean. It makes your stress just melt away.

What a nice little visitor! I welcome all rabbits to my yard,too. I make sure my dog leaves them alone.

Texted this photo to my next door neighbor--who also gardens and struggles with the same rabbits--wondering whether one of our rabbits from home had hitched a ride with me to the beach. I've been coming to Emerald Isle for 20 years and can't remember ever seeing one here!

I do sympathize with gardeners who don’t want to lose their vegetables…. We had to put up a chicken-wire fence around our garden to keep the rabbits out. So they munch on the grass and the clover instead.
