I love this time of year, here in on the Jersey coast, when my kids and I feel very lucky to have quick access to some of the prettiest beaches, like our favorite at the Gateway National Recreation Area in Sandy Hook, NJ.
The parking lot fills up pretty quick in the summer. Friday, however, was the perfect day to celebrate all the good things that living in a shore town has to offer.
Like, exploring the jetty.
Or, playing chicken with the breakwater.
Getting lost, for hours, hunting for sea glass and mermaid toe nails.
Having the beach, all to ourselves, is a luxury and a perfect time for private contemplation.
Aaaand, much silliness.
Yes, Friday was a good day. In fact, seeing how this weekend is going, I'm still there…lalalalalalalalala!
Happy Sunday!!!

Oh, and feel free to clean off a chair, sit down and visit my Flickr photostream.

Love your beach shots! I want to visit your shore sometime. Maybe we could do some sort of exchange program.

I grew up on a beach – it is the best place for kids! Beautiful shots, makes me miss the ocean.

I love the beach shots. I wish I could have been there. I have Lake Michigan, but downtown Chicago doesn’t feel like a real beach, just big buildings, sand, and too many people in the summer. Your shots make the beach feel real, may I say, natural.
And now I’m going to clear off that chair and look at your Flikr page.
