Sunrise over Tom's Cove

This is from last July and is taken along the beach road across Asseteague Island, Virginia. It's just a beautiful sunrise over Tom's Cove with the egrets feeding. It was taken on the way back to the cottage after searching for seashells with my daughter. Most mornings at the beach we get up between 5 and 5:30 and hit the beach in the predawn light before the suns comes up. We normally hike out close to 2 miles. After doing this for so long we know where the "beds" are. We normally don't find alot but if we find a good conch or bigger scallop, that's anything but black/gray, we've had a good morning. We have found a piece of star corral, a couple sand dollars (maybe $1.75 worth) and egg casings from welk and skates, we've also found dead rays and jellyfish and once some wood framing that had to be from a old shipwreck. You never know what you might find and that's what gets you out of bed before sunrise when you're on vacation.
