Beach evening


I was happy to see the ocean at sunset last night. I captured a pretty picture of the sunlight reducing it's bulb wattage. The colors kind of softened in the evening sky and reflect the soften light on the palm leaves. Mom took me to the end of our street next to the new condominium called The Wave. The Wave looks like the comic book picture of " The Daily Planet " from the comic book character Superman. The color of the condo is a light blue with a lot of construction plaster along the base of the building. The building stands very tall and is the first line of defense if a hurricane should come from the ocean. This build would make a great wind breaker. I bet there will be some grand sunrises from one of those condo rooms facing the ocean. There were some pelicans flying overhead, but I could not capture a picture. My timing wasn't right. The picture I tried to take turned out fuzzy. The pelicans always seem to fly in formation. When I was trying to get their picture. They kind of circled around a condo on the beach and flew over my head. I felt this to be very entertaining, but I just couldn't capture the right shot. This morning all the political shows will give their views on the issues the new President Elect has to deal with leading up to his oath of office. I am also enjoying my coffee and playing online video games. I hope we get some nice weather to enjoy the outside, but if it rains I won't be upset. We also need the rain.

    Nice picture with the golden colors. Whenever I fly in an airplane I always enjoy looking at the formations of the cloud tops. They always look so white and fluffy. It is also neat when the plane flies through some of the towering cloud formations. Then I think about the fact that there is absolutely nothing below me for 4 miles straight down to the ground. It is a little unsettling so I always try not to think about it. When I was in the air force ROTC in college the major took a group of us up in a large plane once. We all had to don parachute harnesses. The parachutes were not attached but were available in the plane and could be attached to the parachute harness very quickly in case of trouble. Fortunately, we didn't need the parachutes and we landed safely at Homestead air force base south of Miami without incident. Have a good day. Mary and I are off to Downtown Disney later this morning. We will probably have lunch down there. Breakfast this morning was a bowl of grits with bacon on the side, english muffin with orange marmalade, and a slice of strawberry cake. Bon apetit.
