No Sunrise Today

We had lots of fog, though. I love walking in the fog. Everything is so still and peaceful, unless you have a little girl with you who is complaining about her leg hurting. I almost went by myself this morning, but I couldn't sneak out of the house fast enough: darn, noisy garage door opener! This picture, when I first loaded it on the computer was completely black. Thankfully, there was something there for the software to pick up and enhance, so I could show you our foggy morning.

Low Tide

After a brief hiatus due to frigid temperatures, Kenzie and I got back to our sunrise walk this morning. It was still a little chilly (about 39 F), but the wind was calm. Hmm, how can wind be calm? By definition, calm means no wind. I hate when weathermen(people) say the wind is calm, and then I go and say it. It's like saying my Tyler is calm. If he is ever anything but hyper, he wouldn't be Tyler anymore. Start again: There was no wind. So, it didn't feel very cold, and we could go for our walk. The sun is still coming up later and later, so we arrived at our sunrise observation post many minutes before the actual sunrise, but we were treated to an exceptionally low tide. We could walk out to our little island (which was now a peninsula) and Kenzie thought that was really cool. The pictures I post here are very much enhanced since it was much darker than it appears, but I figure you'd rather see enhanced pictures than big black blotchy things. Below are some of those Canadian geese that visit us this time of year.

Incredible Sunrise

This was two mornings ago, about 15 minutes before sunrise. This picture is not altered in any way by me, except to make it small enough to download.

Black Friday

I have more to say about Black Friday that I hope to get to later. For now, here's the results of our sunrise walk. Next time I do this, I'll take my tri-pod. Here's a good one of the last frame:

Not-So Peaceful Morning

Compare to yesterday's serene view. The waves are bigger than they look, and the wind chill, about 25 ^oF, is many degrees lower than yesterday. This is looking across the river, just outside the marina on a morning they say we have a Nor'easter approaching (I believe it, the waves are coming at us from the northeast). Brr. Time to move farther south. Oh, except Vicki doesn't like the size of the bugs that grow down there.

Peaceful Morning

Another Sunrise Walk

As expected, the whole crew, or most of it, once it got wind of a good thing, had to tag alone on this morning's walk. It wasn't too bad. The morning was beautiful again, and this time I have pictures to prove it. The picture on the left is looking out, over Macum Creek. The little island you see is all that is left from a "land bridge" that was there when we moved in to our house twelve years ago. Back then, you could walk all the way to the other side without getting your feet wet. This might be why some folks are saying that our island is sinking, but I think it's just erosion (which I guess could be ascribed to the sinking of an island :o). This is also where we do the majority of our fishing in the Summer and where Tay got his weird needlefish this year. The picture on the right is just a few steps away, across Chester River. This is where we usually catch those Cownose Rays, which Kenzie can't get enough of, in the Summer.
