Always nice to be the first shooter to arrive at a location, especially when you get to watch the residents wake up.
This is the type of thing I missed most while off my feet. I did get rather used to lazy mornings however as you note from my post time.

Congrats MONNIE OHIO STATE has looked good.
Sweet Sixteen this weekend.

One of the benefits of retirement is lazy mornings when you want them - but in this case, up and at 'em worked great! That last winning shot was a doozy - this weekend will be a challenge but I'm ready for it! Go Bucks!! #10624191

Not even that flash could wake me that hour...great capture, Jack!!
Shot last night was from a few years back during red tide...surf this year has sucked mostly so not much new material.
