Point Pleasant Boardwalk

Jenkinsons Boardwalk 

has a beautiful fireworks display, every Thursday night, all summer long.

We go several times each summer, these pictures are from a few weeks ago.

We have our own special spot where we sit and watch them.

As we get deeper into the summer, the boardwalk gets a lot more crowded...

our special spot will be discovered and will probably be taken over!

The fireworks were so pretty...

I heard someone say if you have seen one firework, you have seen them all.

I say that is not true.

After the fireworks, we walked over by the rides.

School was still in session on the Thursday night we went,

therefore, the kids had gone home early and the rides were pretty empty after the fireworks.

Still I enjoyed looking at the lights, colors, hearing the music, and the rides all lit up. 

There were pint sized rides for the kiddos, family rides and thrill rides.

It was a lovely evening, cool and breezy...the perfect time to visit the Boardwalk.

Pollinator Point

 It was too hot and humid to do anything outside.

The pool water is still green, that is another whole story...so we went for a drive,

to blow the stink off as they say.

I find whenever we go for a drive I find something worth photographing.

And on this day, I really did.

It was a turn the car around moment...

All I saw was this sign, but that was enough.

It looked like a teeny tiny garden but still I wanted to see it, you never know.

I was right, you don't ever know.

It is a sliver of land that people probably pass by everyday and do not notice.

But for me, it was so special, and I'm very happy we stopped so I could appreciate this special garden

Such a thoughtful, sweet spot...a garden with a purpose!
