MarchjettyEach morning, the view is different, yet always beautiful.

 

 

 

 

MarchskyA bonus- I was able to finish my walk before the rain.

It’s a great way to start the day  🙂

Shades of Brown

By ann

MarchmarshWaiting for the marsh grass to acknowledge spring by turning bright green.

In the meantime, we are greeted by shades of brown as we drive along Avalon and Stone Harbor Boulevard. 

Winter colors at the shore are predominately gray and brown (and this year, a few weeks of “white”).   We are excited to see spring flowers, green lawns, and blue/green waterways.

Sunday Sights

By ann

SHpointA cool sea breeze this morning requiring a fleece jacket and hat as I walked south to Stone Harbor point.  Warmer with the wind to my back for the return!

The author of the blog: http://wildwoodweather.blogspot.com/  calls this “San Francisco weather” – so true.  The cool mist over the water drops air temperatures as much as 10 degrees.

Kayaking in March?

By ann

MarchkayakingYep.  Time to launch the boat.  A few weeks ago we were shoveling snow!

 

 

 

 

 

docksThe secret to early and late season kayaking is to limit contact with the water (ha, ha).  It’s COLD!  Therefore, I stay close to the docks just in case.

 

 

 

 

bridgeAnd sometimes, close to a bridge  🙂

 

 

 

 

 

owlsNo birdwatching today- other than plastic owls on the pilings to scare off (?) other birds.   A bit freaky.

 

 

 

 

 

MarchbayA beautiful day to hang out on the bay for an hour or so.  Life is good!

Pancakes, Beer, a Walk on the Beach

By ann

Weekend at the shore:  Uncle Bill’s Pancake House in Stone Harbor re-opened this morning for the season (Avalon stays open year round); for dinner and drinks, both the Concord Cafe and Windrift in Avalon will unlock their doors after a long winter’s nap.

And of course, you MUST take advantage of this incredible weather and extra hour of day light with a walk on the beach  🙂
