Coosaw Jack says: I hope everyone had a pleasant and safe Independence Day. This morning was sort of dull again with clouds to the East and the Sun didn’t cut through the clouds again today. There were more nice reflections on the calm River.

The Sun didn’t even penetrate the fog until it was well above the horizon and then it had bands across it as it made it’s way higher … cool stuff. [ read article ... ]

There was a lot of sea fog rolling on the River this morning making for a lot of color and almost hiding Port Morgan. Also there were lots of “metal bird” contrails in the sky and lots of feathered birds around as well. In the next to last photo I caught “strange friends” hanging out together. [ read article ... ]
