The view is always changing…and I often see something especially unique.
Yesterday on a beach path, I saw a pine tree decorated with a few Christmas balls, as well as orphaned beach items- flip flops and shovels.  Last week, I walked by a fort built from “Sandy” debris- very creative!  And of course, there is the bonus of finding beautiful sea glass 🙂
Beautiful views last night of the full moon rising over the ocean.
Minimal clouds on the horizon- so we were able to see it soon after the official moon rise.
A huge, pink ball glowing over the water…
This is the time of year when air temperature doesn’t totally determine proper dress for a beach walk.
That wonderful sea breeze in the summer months literally turns on us in the winter…and becomes WIND!
Yet still worthwhile to bundle up, turn your face to the warm sun, and breathe in the fresh salt air.
See you on the beach 🙂
This year, a day of thanks with even more meaning.
Our shore neighbors continue the clean up and restoration of their homes and businesses.  It will be an especially difficult holiday season for many.
Residents in towns farther north face the overwhelming task of rebuilding structures, as well as communities.
In the wake of incredible devastation; compassion, generosity, commitment, and hope remain strong.
I was able to get a first hand view of the damaged roadway connecting Avalon to the Townsends Inlet Bridge. Â Even today, the waves were breaking over the rock wall. Â This has been an on going issue- well before the storm. Â It was not that unusual to be splashed on your way to the bridge!
According to an article in today’s Atlantic City Press, the road will likely be closed until spring.
There will be live music and family activities throughout the shopping districts in Avalon and Stone Harbor– including the “grand” parade at 6:30pm Saturday!
Be sure to pick up a copy of the Seven Mile Times for a complete schedule of holiday events.
Power Play Realty will once again participate in the Festival of Trees. Creatively decorated trees and wreaths will be on display at the Whitebrier Motor Boat Club on 21st Street, Avalon . Bidding begins on Wednesday at 5pm; with winning bids announced after the town tree lighting Friday night.
If you are in downtown Avalon during the day, please stop by our office and say hello. Â We will be giving away Power Play Realty draw string back packs on Festive Friday.
Well, the Jersey shore version 😉 Â It occurred to me this morning- why I find more sea glass on the beach in the off season. The color of the glass…even though softened from tumbling through the waves…stands out against the many shades of gray.
Officially acknowledged winter this morning: wore the practical LL Bean jacket on my morning walk!
