Sunrise

Good morning! It is 6:30 am and we are at the beach to see the sunrise. As it turns out, we got here a tad early... the eager bear gets the sun... or something.

The horizon does look quite pretty... and there are even a few starts still out.

There we go... if Mama plays with the exposure a bit, you can actually see me and not just a shadow... but it is beary dark here.

And cold too. There is a stiff wind off the ocean and although I'm wearing my fleece, wind cuts through fleece quite nicely. Thank goodness there are some wool blankets in the truck!

Hmmm... it's slowly getting lighter...

I think the sun is coming!

I wonder if it will come up over the little island? I can see some light on the edges of the clouds...

Nope! A bit to the right!!

Hooray!!!

Now to take some pictures...

This log is kind of cool with the early morning sun.

It's not quite warm yet though...

 Oooh... even better with a bit more sun.

Heh-heh... this is fun.

Of course, a photo is always better with a stuffie in it.

 I like sunrise photos...

Strange lock... almost looks like a beak or a hand with thumb and forefinger touching.

OK... I'm done!!! Brrr... it's cold out there! My paws are frozen. I think I deserve a hot chocolate at Starbucks (of course!).
