  • Happy Halloween

    ScarecrowA “famous” scarecrow on duty at Seashore Ace yesterday 😉

    He was greeting (and startling) shoppers during the Harvest Festival on 96th Street, Stone Harbor.

    Next weekend, the rescheduled Seafood Festival will take place at 30th and Avalon Avenue, Avalon.

     

     

     

  • Sunday Sunrise

    A few layers needed this morning…but worth it for a beautiful view 🙂

  • Another Little Island

    Low key…small…friendly…beautiful…and surrounded by water.  Of course, we would want to vacation there!

    Just returned from an amazing vacation on Nevis, West Indies.  We were pampered at the Four Seasons, and challenged by adventures around the island. My beach walks will seem especially calm after hiking in the rain forest!

    Added bonus every time we travel: experiencing the value of service and hospitality as a tourist. Always helpful to be “on the other side” – a wonderful opportunity to learn and grow.

    ServiceWill write a more detailed post after I catch up at work.

    In the meantime…

    I wonder if the laundry will go away if I hang this on the front door??

  • Hello Sun

    Mild temperatures, less wind, and SUNSHINE.

    The weekend storm caused some beach erosion.  But, thanks to recent beach fill projects, the damage was not devastating.  The extra sand created a solid buffer for our beaches and dunes.

  • Shifting Sand

    Okay, it’s official…I miss the sun!  This Nor’easter is not only inconvenient (canceling Columbus Day weekend events) , it’s also causing sand shifting along our beach front.  I posted pictures yesterday, and again this morning on Twitter (see link on right hand side of the page).

    I was up early, and able to walk before the rain.  The wind was blowing me, and the sand down the beach.  Stone Harbor Point will likely extend a few more feet into the inlet  after the weekend!

  • Dramatic Views

    The bonus of stormy weather? Amazing views.

    Sunset picture taken Tuesday evening; the sunrise pictures (surrounded by blowing sand and ocean foam!) Wednesday morning.

    No walk this morning- wimped out with the heavy rain 😉
