  • Thursday Warm Up

    Very cold on the beach this morning – although the dolphins didn’t seem to mind!  More seasonal temperatures promised for later today…and the weekend.

  • Seagulls

    seagullsSomeday, I should take a beach walk with the author of the Beach Chair Scientist blog.  I’m sure she could help me name the different species of seagulls.

    In the off season, I see more variety.  For example: the huge “winter gulls”, and appearing recently, the majestic gulls with bright black and white coloring.

    These temporary residents are definitely more skittish of humans.  The typical Jersey shore seagull will look you straight in the eye, and almost dare you to step over them.  Oh, and then steal your sandwich 😉

  • Tuesday Views

    Early morning beach walk, with the dunes partially blocking the chilly west wind…and the sun warming my face.  Great way to start the day!

  • Good, Better, Best!

    Quick narrative of my morning walk:

    “Ahh, warm sun.  That feels nice.  Oh, and look…2 pieces of sea glass.  Low tide and calm wind- such a beautiful morning on the beach.  Wow…three herons just flew overhead -another version of “snow birds” returning north! ”

    And then, just before I turned up my beach path: “Dolphins!!” Jumping out of the water as they passed by.  The ocean was so calm- they were easy to spot.  Now THAT’S the way to start a work day 🙂
