Get up at 4:30 AM, leave at 5 AM, 


drive deserted streets & freeways to Huntington Beach.




As I pulled in I see the fire-pit & growing group in the distance.

This is the view as I prepared to leave for breakfast.
Leaving the beach to surfers, bikers, runners & rollerbladers,
until next year.











A smile for Monday ...
