Some mornings I wake early and can’t sleep. It used to annoy me. Now I take the opportunity to arise predawn and go to the beach in the best part of the day.

Looks like some prehistoric sea monster is eyeing you off for breakfast Garth!
I agree, predawn mornings are magic!
Great work.
LOL Neil, I see that now. His eye swiveling in the socket to see who is standing on his jaw!!
Thanks for the comment Neil.

Thanks Murph, I almost gave you a ring to see if you wanted to knock off early but thought the boss might frown on it. LOL.

Garth I have the problem of not getting to sleep till 1 , 2 or 3am to dark to go outside. Love this photo thought you have captured the water well.
I have that side of the problem sometimes too Lois. The joys of doing rotating shift work for almost 30 years.
Thank you for your kind words.
