Check

Low-tide time selected to ensure low water in estuary, thereby increasing the numbers of wading/feeding birds? Check.

Weather website visited to verify forecast for a blue-sky day to ensure great light for photographs? Check.

Alarm set for 30 minutes before sunrise? Check.

Able to get upright when the alarm went off? Check.

For our last day in Myrtle Beach this season (representing my last chance to get to Huntington Beach State Park to take more entirely necessary photos of soaring, diving, and striding birds), I’ve thought of everything. It’s a great plan.

But there are limits to the power of planning.

  3. It’s that Weather Website that needs a boot. I sometimes wonder where they get their prophetic wisdom. We have a theory that on weekends the Weather Network consults groundhogs, a habit developed during the cabin fevers of January.

      Laurna – LOL. Maybe their source is a groundhog. I shouldn’t be surprised by fog along any coast, but I *was* disappointed.

    Still — you photographed what you’re given. Well done. Nice photo!
    It gives a perfect sense of why you went back to bed.
