Point Pleasant Beach

The weekend was beautiful...
Not quite the warmth I was dreaming of...
But the sun was out, the skies were blue, temperatures were in the upper 50's.
It felt great to be outside, but just for a bit, it was not picnic weather.
We went for a drive down by the ocean, there was a crisp chill to the air, and a brisk breeze.
We went for a drive by the fishing boats, most were in, they looked so pretty
I thought it would be nice to share some pictures here with all of you.


The Dauntless is a "party" boat...for civilians who want to fish for the day! 


The seagulls follow the boats as they come in and always hang out in this area.







These lighthouses, up on the pier, are new...


there were a total of four.

Lovely "decor" to guide the fishing boats home.

The fishing boats play a large role in the economics of this area. 
It is a way of life here, 
we who live here are rewarded from the fisherman with the fresh catch of the day, everyday!

It sounds like we did the same thing, except i didn't take any close up shots of the boats. I think those lighthouses they put up along there are really neat, I love it when the marina's have those special touches like that

Brian King said...

The marina seems quiet when you visited. Love the boats and your seagull friend was happy to cooperate! Beautifully painted lighthouses...that's a great idea!

One of my favorite places to eat. Shrimp Box. You know the other one!

Oh my goodness, I would never have guessed that it wasn't a warm day, it's so strange not seeing any ice or snow or anything winter like! Lucky you. We've got a lot of snow everywhere still! Your photos are gorgeous and what a fun day out it was for you.

Do you understand there is a 12 word sentence you can tell your partner... that will trigger deep feelings of love and instinctual attraction to you deep inside his chest?

Because deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that triggers a man's impulse to love, cherish and look after you with his entire heart...

12 Words Will Fuel A Man's Desire Instinct

This impulse is so built-in to a man's brain that it will make him work harder than ever before to make your relationship as strong as it can be.

Matter of fact, triggering this mighty impulse is absolutely important to achieving the best possible relationship with your man that once you send your man one of the "Secret Signals"...

...You'll instantly find him expose his mind and heart to you in a way he never expressed before and he will perceive you as the one and only woman in the galaxy who has ever truly understood him.
