Filtered sunshine today with a high near 55. Near 70 tomorrow and Thursday. Rain chances go up tomorrow night. Storms Thursday and Thursday night.

Art:

Sunrise at Portstewart with Portrush beyond, (1868), Edwin Hayes, (Irish, 1819-1904)

Wikipedia: Hayes painted seascapes in Ireland, England, Belgium, Holland, France, Spain and Italy, his work invariably featuring ships and boats in high seas, harbor scenes or other aspects of the coastline.

Thought:

Note that many notations of Tony Joe White’s 1969 hit “Poke Salad Annie” mistakenly refer to poke as “Polk.”
