Howe Street Beach

A walk on the beach, or a sit on the bench, was just what was needed on this warm and breezy day.
If you live at the Jersey Shore, 
you understand the need to go and "check" on the ocean every now and again.
It's beauty really lifts my spirits, 
the breeze brings the ocean mist and smell of salt water right up to my face.
Everything about this place makes life better!

- coastal rocks -

- native trees, shrubs and vines -

- dune grass -

- my bench -


- snow fence -



Each holiday, an older, very kind man comes and decorates with shell art just like this.
I met him once, I was there and he was sleeping on a bench.
When he woke up, i asked him who was responsible for all this creative work...
and he said "me"!
We spoke for several minutes but he did not want his picture taken, and that was ok!

I love the shots of the shore. The rocks look like a sea monster to me. I love that. How fun.
