Michael Tapp sent me this sunrise photo from the #PonceInlet just now. Many folks will be off and waling the beach this week for the #Thanksgiving holiday. Keep those pictures coming folks.

Five white and black Elegant Terns with long, narrow orange beaks stand facing left in the flat, gray sand on a beach. An additional bird stands with its back to the camera in the right lower middle. The head of the tern at the farthest left is tilted upward, its beak open, as it sings. In the row of 3 terns, just behind it, the tern closest to the camera and the one next to it are also singing; the farthest away in that row, and the one behind it stand silent, as if waiting for their parts. The light blue and white foam of the surf is pictured behind them where the Atlantic Ocean meets the shore.

For your listening pleasure, may I present The #ElegantTerns! Straight from their sold out performance in #PonceInlet #Florida

A lone palm tree stands amidst some mangroves in the bottom left corner. In front of it is a gray blue sandy beach that meets the blue and turquoise water of the Atlantic Ocean. A long, fluffy cumulus cloud extends through the top of the photo, sunlit in the right half, and shadowed in bluish gray in the left half. More bluish gray clouds hang over the shaded part on the left. The Atlantic reflects the white and yellow sunlit clouds from the horizon to the sandy beach.

At the top is a vibrant yellow, pink, and purple sky on the left that bleeds horizontally into a periwinkle and pink sky on the right as the eye moves from the edge of sunset to dusk. Below the sky, across the entire bottom of the photo, are the homes of Ponce Inlet bathed in blue light.

Below, in silhouetted shadow is a street and afew cars traveling on it with ttheir lights shining. on the left side of the street are many shadowed houses and beyond them, in the midground, are the lighted windows and outlines of condos.

Sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean in Ponce Inlet Florida. In the center is the yellow sun and a few sunbeams angled downward toward the navy and black ocean and its gentle swells. At the bottom in the foreground is yellow reflection of the sun and a horizontal orange strip of reflected light around it. In the middle, in a horizontal line of orange and navy, are clouds and sky illuminated by the rising sun. In the top middle is yellow sky and above that are darker navy clouds, the undersides of which reflect the orange of the rising sun.

A new #Scape Friday dawns.
Hope it’s a good one!

A quarter of a rainbow is on the left side of the photo. It is set against a bright blue sky. Horizontal dark blue and white clouds run across the upper middle of the photo. A cream colored condo is in the right corner, and teal ocean water, and white beach are are at the bottom, in the foreground.

Thinking of this as a good omen

A Snowy Egret with a black beak and orange feet and orange between its black eyes and beak stands facing right in shallow blue-grey surf water in the foreground. Behind it is seafoam and a small breaking wave to the left. Behind that is calm teal and turquoise ocean water, and a strip of blue sky at the top.

Sun rising, peaking out behind some scattered thin dark clouds. Yellow and orange Sunbeams spread out above into a light blue sky with yellow clouds, and below into a dark ocean glinting with reflected yellow light. In the foreground is wet beach reflecting orange sunlight.

A lone pelican flying overhead in a filmy light blue sky at sunrise. The sun lights his white belly, so it appears yellow. His wings are fully outstretched and appear mostly a charcoal color with a yellowish white stripe that runs vertically from his body to the fringed end of his wings.

I think what I love most about these birds is their ability to seemingly transcend all earth bound conflicts as they glide effortlessly over the ocean and buildings here on the #Florida coast.

A full moon shines in a bright night sky and is reflected in the Atlantic Ocean below. A palm tree stands in the left foreground, and a dark sandy beach meets the ocean. Beach foliage is seen in the right foreground.

Always remember we are under the same sky, looking at the same moon

The half hour or so before sunrise on the beach with only me and a couple seabirds is my idea of #Peaceful
