Sunset Over the Bay

Went out specifically to catch some sunset shots. All went well for the most part with the exception that some clouds rolled in just as the sun started setting. You can start to see some of these gathering. They did generate some nice sunset cloud photos on the positive side.

Windy Morning

Windy morning at the beach. Good news the wind died down enough to raise an umbrella in the afternoon and salvage a beach day!

Reflections on the Beach

Reflections On The Beacg

There were some nice reflection opportunities on the beach thanks to low tide in the morning.

My oldest daughter was investigating these baby clam creatures that were washing up in the tide and trying to burrow themselves in the sand before they were noticed. When you pick them up in your hand you can actually feel them moving!

WP_000579The ocean was very calm although you wouldn’t know it perhaps from this shot. We saw these two life guards paddle out on their surf boards on a training run and were gone easy for 1/2 hour. They went out so far before returning that you could barely see them!

Visible only at low tide, the rock jetty near where we usually stay. There were several sea gulls hanging out near the water looking for snacks. I saw several of them eat small crabs whole!

Almost Hole In One

July12

The title alone is not worthy of the photo. What makes this even more special is that it happened on hole #10 at the Sand Trap on LBI. This is a par 4 I believe. Not pictured here is the terrain that surrounds the hole.In the words of a buddy of mine this place should be called “the fiery pit of death… family fun center!” Smile

Milk-less Pancakes

July10

Initially disappointed because I couldn’t find the mix I was looking for but found this one instead. It looks interesting and doesn’t require any milk.

Life’s A Beach

July9

Nothing better than a warm summer day down at the Jersey shore! Really don’t know what else I can say to add to this shot!

Yes/Styx Relaxation

I quick picture taken with my Samsung Focus cell phone camera sitting in the cheap seats at the PNC Bank Arts Center relaxing and enjoying the concert music.

Daisy Summer Days

190-1

While on a long weekend trip, I took some photos in a garden on a piece of property that had 7 acres!

This daisy was one of my favorites and almost was worth putting up with the wrath of mosquitoes to get the shot.
