I’ve written about my personal experience with dune grass planting as a child growing up on the island.  Needless to say, our finished product looked a bit different than the symmetrical rows pictured!
The dune grass planting is the final phase of our recent beach/dune restoration project.
Hat, gloves, and assorted layers needed for a beach walk!
Hoping for a clear view of the NASA rocket launch tonight.  Follow  @NASA_Wallops  on Twitter for updates.  I will be live tweeting, too @anndelaneybeach
Launch window: Â 7:30pm to 9:30pm. Â Find an area with minimal artificial light (like the beach!) and look south.
P.S.  We were joined by quite a few others at Stone Harbor Point- ideal location for an unobstructed view.  Launch was at 8:15pm, and we watched the rocket  appear from across the inlet, veer over the ocean for several minutes…before fading away.  Cool!  Â
Roaring wind gusts, heavy rain, and then shades of soft pink and blue as the sky cleared. Â Busy weather morning!
Prestigious Bayberry Drive location- half a block to a wide beach, across from the recreation park, and within walking distance of downtown Avalon.
HUGE lot- 115′ X 100′.
See LINK for more details. Â Please share this information with friends looking to buy/build at the shore. Â I appreciate your referrals!
Birds flying south…and beach vehicles disappearing into thin air 😉
The fishermen are out in full force at Stone Harbor Point…waiting for the striped bass to arrive.
A nice distraction this morning- dolphins feeding just past the wave break. One of the fisherman said dolphins will scare away the stripers, but he was enjoying the rare November sight.
I am grateful to live near the water; and the ability to walk along the beach every day…year round. Â A chilly morning feels much warmer with the sun reflecting off the ocean, and the dunes buffering the wind.
And, I am grateful for the opportunity to travel (usually to other beautiful beach locations). Â Each trip expands our view of the world, and encourages us to add more destinations to the “list”.
Yet…
