The following pictures are from March 2013 to May 2013.
I am a pisces, and I am in love with the beach and sea! Perhaps I was a sea turtle in another life :)
I had developed such a strong yearning to go to the beach. I normally go to the beach all year round. Even more so in the fall, winter, and springtime because there are less people. Unfortunately, the beach was closed because of Superstorm Sandy from November 2012 to part of March 2013. When I finally found a beach that was open, I was overjoyed. It was my own personal pot of gold being able to be at the water's edge again.
It was definitely weird being at the beach again because it looked like nothing had happened.
I visited a couple of different beaches. In the previous post, the turtles were in AC. The two pictures here are from a beach in Berkeley. The two below are in a secret spot which I can't say
But lemme tell you, there used to be a fence, shed, and playground here and they got washed away :( I'm guessing the bench survived though. There was a lot less sand at this beach than last time I was here :(
I also went to Seaside.
These picures were taken March 2013. Funtown pier would later be burned down by a fire in September 2013 :(
There used to be a boardwalk here, but it was destroyed by Superstorm Sandy.
If you visit this part of the Jersey Shore now, you'll see that there are still a lot of construction going on.
This is another beach on the island barrier. I don't know what town I am in exactly, but oopsie daisy the turtle fell!
HAHAHAH OMG I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT I FIND THIS PICTURE I TOOK SO HILARIOUS! They look like they're ready to surf. the surfboards are from these surfboard necklaces I had. I wanted to also capture the houses in the background because I think they're beautiful, and someone who lives in a different region than I live in (dessert, farm, etc) might think that this is cool :)
jersey water is dirtyyy. i'm sorry if you're disgusted by it. barnegat bay right here. just focus on the turtle :P btw, help protect the barnegat bay too :)
My boyfriend and I also went to the yacht club where we first met to watch our fellow sailors team race. My camera isn't sophisticated for you to see the sailboats in the distance well, but this guy still looks cute ^-^
there was no one on this dock, so i was free to put all of my turtles out to catch some rays.
don't let this blue fool you! jersey water is still dirty! this connects to the barnegat bay... the same water in the other turtle pictures above this set. I was also able to go to Island Beach state park free of charge before the summer season came :)
I was SOO ecstatic when I saw that IBSP was open again :) Even more ecstatic than a kid with a lot of presents on Christmas day. I love the beach. It's always been my go to place to reflect and begin anew.
