Wishing all a very Merry Christmas morning, M.A.R.S. style

How could I resist an early walk on the beach here in the hometown of Melbourne Beach where M.A.R.S. is located. It promised to be a picture perfect sunrise, so with camera in one hand and a wreath in the other I headed to the beach at the end of our street. Hoping to get the perfect sunrise picture to share with all of you.
While waiting I waked along the shore and  put the wreath down while I did so. Upon returning I realized that until the sun came up that might be a good start for my first morning pic.

I waited only a short while longer and this is the end result.

Merry Christmas from all of us here at M.A.R.S.
