Our houseful of loved ones is still sleeping as I slip down the boardwalk to the stillness of the morning, the quiet broken only by the rolling waves and shorebirds calling.

Our very own mockingbird sentinel, who beat me to the beach every morning...

The perfect beginning to a perfect day at the beach!

Just me and God, the mockingbird and seagulls, in the quiet dawn moments on our...

...sunrise seaside strolls.
