Life At The Jersey Shore

Do you long to see the ocean during the winter like I do??
Periodically checking on it...to be sure it is still there...
I am lucky enough to live at the Jersey shore, 10 minutes from the ocean
and a drive by the beach is almost always included when out for a "ride in the car".


On this day, the concrete wall was filled with Gulls.



We watched this "interesting" boat ride by.


I saw several Loons...


and this one lonely Male Red Breasted Merganser at the inlet.
We only see Mergansers and Loons during the winter.

And here is our beautiful beach.

Driving through Manasquan, I noticed this cool sign.
I see them occasionally around here and 
always enjoy studying them.

Buddy and I took a ride to the beach the other day to "make sure it was still there!" Isn't that a funny thing that everyone around here says the same thing? Glad you were able to get out a bit :)

I was also at the Beach on Sunday. It was my Birthday and when my husband asked me where I wanted to go - I said 'my happy place' An hour and 10 minutes later we were taking in the beautiful sights and Ocean breezes at Barnegat Light! I was born at the Jersey shore and although I live in another state now, I try to visit as often as I can. Once a Jersey girl, always a Jersey girl!! Hugs!!
