Shell Sorting

Something beautiful about seeing the intricacies of these little babies next to big mama as they get ready to become something very special.

Sky Drama

Not every day is perfect and this one started out pretty dramatic, but as is typical here, the clouds never made it to the island and it was blue skies all day!

Spectacular Sunset

So far the summer sunsets have not disappointed.  This one was particularly awesome -  talk about red sky at night...

Frigid temps on the bay present a gorgeous frozen golden hour.

South Pacific

Captain Tom, his first mate and friend crew sailed the South Pacific in September in search of shells and driftwood.   An amazing time was had by all.

Stingrays

These beauties gracefully swam a few feet from shore during low tide today.  What a gorgeous sight they were as they danced in the waves.

Sailing

Captain Tom is happiest on the water.  This shot was captured as he approached his mooring after a 3 hour sail in Barnegat Bay.

Swimming

When Captain Tom is not sailing or making art, he can be found swimming miles in Barnegat Bay with a balloon attached!

Sentimental

No driftwood in sight, but stumbled upon this sweet sight while on a beach stroll today.

Sunset

Always taking time to appreciate the sunset...and this weekend's photo provided a beautiful bonus with the perfect lens flare. 

Searching

The search for supplies goes way beyond the beaches.  The antique show at Viking Village is the perfect spot to find those awesome frames made from repurposed wood siding panels.  

Summer Wood

Driftwood is scarce on the summer beaches, but here's a piece that was spotted by my first mate while she was out for her morning bike ride on the sand cruiser.  

Sunrise

It was a beautiful sunrise, but no sign of driftwood today!
