When I'm not out hiking, I'm out hiking. You know what I mean. When I'm not on the road on some far-flung hiking expedition, I'm on the beach at home doing sunrise hikes.
So once I got back from Easter Island, and once I had the ravages of Hurricane Florence under control, I was out on the beach most mornings an hour before sunrise so as to watch the light show unfold from 'the ground up'. My usual walk was 2¼ miles out in the pre-dawn light and 2¼ back with the sun rising over the Gulf Stream.
So without further ado, here is a collection of the best of sky and surf and sea and sun and the occasional watercraft or feathered friend as witnessed through the months of January and February.

On February 17th I took a trip north to visit family. First stop was another sunrise outside of Goldsboro, NC.
Then it was on to the Appalachian Trail for a visit to Annapolis Rocks, MD, to the
2¼ mile Carroll Creek Trail in Frederick, MD, and to a date with a cut of Wagyu Beef - a bucket list culinary destination - at the Wine Kitchen in downtown Frederick.
Next comes another exotic long-distance excursion. Stay tuned.
