Got up around 4:45. The moon was still high in the western sky. Headed back to Cochina Beach around 5:15. Stopped at the 7-11 for a cup of coffee along with a few fishermen starting their day. A couple of older ladies came in, wishing everyone a merry Christmas. They didn’t seem drunk, so I guessed it was an inside thing I didn’t know anything about. They were nice enough, just a little full of themselves for that time of the morning. (more…)
This was the last of the Beaver moon photos. It was a totally clear sky around sunset and the forecast was for clear in the morning.
