Beautiful photographs. I love the beach, and the surf. I could stare and stare. Love that your elf made a beach trip too. :-) And maybe that is......everyone loves Jersey, even Jesus, right? :-)
I was in Keyport, on the New Jersey coast, in April, of 1972, while stationed at Fort Dix. Being a Southern California kind of guy, I was desperately lonely for an ocean fix. I went out in a fishing boat, and was ecstatic. Your photos evoked some serious nostalgia for me. In October, I wrote a series of vignettes on my time in New Jersey, to go with the pieces on Fort Leonard Wood, and those of Korea. It was a long time ago, but it may as well have been yesterday.
The family and I just got back from our Christmas Eve walk on the Nor Cal. We were given a beautiful sunset (but chilly) and then splurged on a seafood dinner at the wharf. Merry Christmas Eve!
