I spent my summers in Seaside Park...
if the sun was out, we were on the beach, this beach.
Every Summer, I played here, at Funtown Pier, in Seaside Park.
It's an eclectic, lively seashore community at the Jersey Shore.
Five months after Super Storm Sandy, in March 2013, it looked like this.
A few of the historic attractions survived, most had not.
But if you turned to the right, it looked like this.
The water was calm and beautiful...it had never been a prettier blue.
The waves were soft and diamonds danced with the ocean.
From this view, nothing had changed and yet I knew,
nothing would ever be the same.
I am super excited to be sharing my views of the snow fence with
for Good Fences.
Stop by and consider joining in the fun, any fence or gate will do!!

What awesome shots with the sea in the background. Thanks for sharing.
Have a great day!
The sea and the sand are still beautiful. Lovely shots.
Oh, that ocean!! So sparkly! Love how "focusing" on a fence brings to light thoughts and stories that aren't actually related to it, just prompted by it! I hope they sure up some of those historical places!!
Such mixed emotions here .... thanks for showing us that the beauty is still there in spite of everything. There is hope.
There's nothing more beautiful than the Jersey shore -- even with the mess that Sandy left!
It's so tragic all that has happened to that community, and seems to keep on happening. Your shots are beautiful and I love your description! It's wonderful that you have such happy memories. No storm can take those away.
So sad, but you've shown that beauty remains. Wonderful words and pictures!
There is little quite so pretty as an east coast beach fence. Up until a few years ago, I never knew about (or much thought about!) the difference between east and west coast beach fences, but there is most definitely a difference in style.
This one is such a beauty, Debbie.
Super shot of the ocean and fence. Nicely done!
I just love those sand fences, even if they are much the same as our snow fences! Take me to the water, how beautiful there.
If I had to be near a fence, that's the kind of place I'd want to be!
What a lovely place Debbie!!Beautiful beach and nice fence!Amazing shots!
Dimi...
It is nice to be so close to the beach! Great fence shots. The last one is my favorite! Have a happy weekend!
I love those beach fences!! This is what I wanted to present on my first participation in the meme. But I am not too close to a beach right now. These are really great!
wow, looks like a fun place to visit & have some fun. nice shots. ( :
Beautiful shots! Nice that a few of the old places survived.
The ocean does look beautiful. Nice that you have such great memories.
Nice. Your photographs are making me miss summer.
Interesting to see fences on the beach.We don't have those here in Georgia.
Lovely fence pictures!

Nice view- nature sure has been taking her toll.
Thanks Debbie for sharing the sea!!!

Some say that we can't go back...well I say that we can. Memories survive and I have NJ Seaside Beach memories too. Thanks for the trigger!
That is so sad that it suffered so much damage. :( Maybe it will come back bigger and better! I hope so.
