Inspired, by George! (McG)

Some of you know I've been hobbled by some health issues these past two years, Agent Orange prostate cancer to be specific. Well, I GOT TO RING THE BELL! The VA has put me back to 20% disabled, so I must be better right? LOL.

My less mobile time has has allowed me to troll my archives as in the recent posts about Ospreys, Hawks, Spiders, and airplanes. Gorge's sunrise and sunset photos inspired me to look at some photos taken at our happy place on the Atlantic near Kennedy Space Center, about a three hour drive.
Here are some reasons we love looking out over the ocean with coffee in the morning and wine at night! But, see them on the big screen here and I have set them downloadable too.

just wish it were closer to home. even though we live an hour from the west coast, there are rarely any waves in the Gulf, certainly none one can hear
