I wanted to get over the bridge just once since Sandy. I wanted to see for myself something that changed more then I could comprehend...or wanted to. This was taken last Thursday...only by walking over sandy streets plowed like a recent snow storm was I able to access the beach. It's a town being torn apart for the new....but everyones memories will remain as we walk, sit, swim, on the Jersey Shore ~ I love my home.
THE LAUGHTER has returned....a new SEASIDE NJ is making memories for the newer generations. But there are empty properties, homes boarded up remain empty, and homes that families had to just walk away from. Moving on but not forgetting.

The reason I wanted to share updated pictures is because I was asked "Why do you continue to keep "Jersey Strong" as part of your id?"
Contractors will start dismantling Jet Star Roller Coaster that is now such an iconic symbol to our beaches. It will be removed within two months...but after seeing this standing at the distance allowed it will always be a shadow in the blue waters off the Jersey Shore.
The majority of homes are still in rubble, untouched...no power, no water....The final town was able to "populate" this week, owners have not been able to return to their property since October because of unsafe conditions....A lot will not be able to find their home....others only part of it. The towns are opening business by business and the boardwalk hopes to be partially open to visitors for summer. Our hotels in the immediate area are still full of displaced homeowners...my heart goes out to them to keep strong, stay Jersey Strong !

Attentive, protective of their mate, playful, affectionate....describes courtship of the Forster's Tern as the male brings his offering during courtship to his chosen mate! (I like this better then what the Osprey does...he enjoys his fresh catch, then brings the remainder to the female patiently sitting in the nest!! Fun to watch!
