Little darling, the smile’s returning to their faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, do, dun, do, do
Here comes the sun, and I say
It’s all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
My thanks to the Beatles.
Smiles are hard to come by this year, but when they arrive, it’s an event. Events at Edisto Beach are hard to come by also. Helen and I have enjoyed thoroughly our leisurely vacation these two weeks. We’ve read books, ridden our bikes, walked in the surf, and Helen finished one jigsaw puzzle, and started another.
I don’t have the patience to sit and work a jigsaw puzzle, and I had biked to the end of the island and back several times. I did not find any shark’s teeth this trip, and the fish were not biting. Therefore, I decided that the time had come to create a little excitement. We needed an event to stir the air. I decided that I would organize a real crowd pleaser…read on.
Upon checking the weather charts and the tide tables, I learned that the sun would rise the next morning at 6:55 am during the outgoing tide. The sky would have only a few clouds; the winds should average less than five mph. With near-perfect conditions in the offing, I created and organized an event called “Sunrise!” Now, with all of the elements in place, I’ll take you through the event as it happened.
A lonely loon was the first to arrive and began collecting tickets for the event.
Drone surveillance commenced above the stadium.
The crowd entered and began finding their seats in the stands.
The media assembled along press row.
A sentry stood at rigid attention as the flotilla arrived.
A flyover by Air Force jets signaled that the event was about to begin.
The curtain parts slowly. A guitar lightly strums “Here Comes the Sun”
The orchestra joins in – the crowd sings along…”Sun, Sun, Sun, Here it comes“
Let the Show Begin!
“Wow! Get the Coppertone–It’s gonna be big!”
Show over–Here comes the Parade.
Thanks to all who participated and to all who attended. The media reports that the masses are calling for this to become a tradition.
I’m Easin’ Along now, trying to catch the tail of the Parade. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!
Ha, ha. Now, that’s an event I’d be happy to attend. Creative work is good for the soul.
Suzanne,
You’re always invited. We would love to have your camera work involved as well. Hope your vacation went swimmingly, and you’re ready for “the season.” Loved your last post and looking forward to more. Have a great week! Joe
Creative!
Thanks, Eddie,
Hope you and the girls had a great Thanksgiving. Give them all a hug from us. Please stay in touch! Joe
What a beautiful way to start your day!
Hi, Cammy,
This was your kind of morning…so beautiful. Great day for a beach walk. See you soon! Joe
Clever post. Beautiful sunrise
Good morning Joyce,
The sunrise cooperated well for this event. So glad you could join us. I love the picture of the cat on your sign-in. I had an orange cat for many years and I miss him greatly, especially around this time of year. Wilbur (cat) loved the Christmas tree. Have a great week! Joe
Lovely Joe!
Nancy,
So good to hear from you. I’ll bet you’re loving life in the RV. It has worked out perfectly for us to be able to travel and yet stay “at home” at the same time. Hope your Thanksgiving went well. Please stay in touch! Joe
Hey Joe,
Was that the Richie Havens at Woodstock or The Beatles. Good song! Great sunrise!!
Mike,
I gave you the Beatles version…always a fave of mine. Glad you enjoyed the show. Hope your Thanksgiving went well. We’re heading home, but we had a fabulous time at the beach. Joe
Cool!!’
LuAnne,
Glad to have you Easin’ Along with us! Have a great week! Joe
Best Ever! Again, thanks for sharing your travels with so many. By the way, that new camera of yours is special indeed.
Dynamo,
Thanks for the kind comments. Hope your Thanksgiving went well in spite of this plague. We’re on the road home and will be there until mid-January. Let’s stay in touch. Have a great week! Joe
Haha, love this, Joe, bravo! Gorgeous images of a wonderful day at the beach. Love this event and hope to attend many more!
Good morning, Terri,
Glad you enjoyed the show. It was a slow week at the beach and I needed to get something going. I bet you’re down to the small details in your move. Hang in there! Looking forward to seeing anything you want to share of the new home. Have a great week! Joe
LOVED this Joe! So creative – plus gorgeous sunrise photos, too. I hope you and Helen enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving!
Mary,
Glad to have you in the audience on so beautiful a morning. Thanks for checking in. Have a great week! Joe
What a fun event! And so creative and uplifting. 🙂 Your second to last sunrise photo is stunning! Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving.
Good morning, Laurel,
So glad you could attend! We enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving with our Charleston family. I’m sure yours was good now that your remodel is complete. Enjoy, and have a great week! Joe
