Each Morning, a Surprise

In the winter that is. Once spring rolls around, each morning the sun comes up like a fireball, surrounded by blue skies and bluer seas. But in the winter, there are usually early morning clouds and haze, and the upside to that is a potpouri of color.

This morning was no exeption. I was up before sunrise towing my raft with my ATV, down my yard to my ramp getting ready to launch, and then do a little fishing. I caught the shot below, just as I was making preparations to push off. There is nothing more peaceful than the solitude of the sea as I slowly troll along the shore looking to hook up my breakfast. I fished about an hour, getting two hook-ups, and landing one Sierra.

After breakfast, I went on a five mile hike along the shore. Upon returning, I worked for three hours. This consisted of checking the stock market, making a few trades, rinsing the boat and fishing equipment, and of course taking a nap. Yep, quite a full day.
