Crepuscular rays just before dawn off the coast of Topsail Island, NC. I had never seen or heard of crepuscular rays before taking this photo. Guess I'm not as early of a riser as I have always fancied myself to be. Or maybe, now that I am retired, this is the first time I've gotten up early for no particular reason. Either way, anyday I learn something new is a good day.

So I was driving out towards Saxapahaw and this was going on at the corner of Orange Grove Road and #54? They were plowing with mules and Oxen but the mules were resting!
The little lady was something else whipping up on those giant bovines! Reminded me of this cool quote:
"I come from pioneer stock, developers of the West, people who went out into the wilderness and set up home with nothing but a pair of oxen." ~ Joni Mitchell
