Not just sunrise

I waited a long time on the beach this morning for this shot.



And then turned around to walk back to where I'm staying.

Saw this guy first



Then found his tracks after he flew away



And somebody left this...



The tide was coming in this morning...



There haven't been any colorful sunsets since I've been here, but I did take this B&W shot several days ago when it was overcast most of the day.

I remember a motto for photo journalism, which was “anticipate, and then be patient” it’s more difficult than it sounds

People are allowed to drive trucks on the beach here. Yesterday there was a guy with a lot of fishing gear--and his truck--directly in my sight lines for the sunrise from my deck. So this morning I went down to the beach. Sure enough, same guy showed up again, but today he was not blocking my sight lines!
