Friday Hunt, 2017.1.10

With an Arctic front now enveloping the Northeast USA, it is again time for Teresa's fun photo meme, Friday Hunt. Today the tenth letter of the alphabet is prominent...

Starts with 'J'. This is a bit harder to showcase straight up, but peripherally I think so. So, my choice today is the Garden State, New Jersey. I go way back for my first three Jersey pics, vacations on the Atlantic on the barrier island of Brigantine - in a day where lots of independent motels existed, not like today where everything is a time share. However, the briny air and crashing waves still remain to this day :)

Week's Favorite. Patti captured this moonrise about four hours ago outside our front door in Ansonia. The snow ended, the cold front is here and the sky is perfect to see the moon in all its glory
Birds. This is the scene on Pickett's Pond at Osbornedale State Park in Derby yesterday, when it was a warm 61°F (16°C) - figure 15°F tonight. The gulls look relaxed then, probablynot so much with ice on the pond. So, Winter remains :(

  1. A nice post, Ralph. It was really nice that your family could go to the beach often. Ours was an hour an a half drive so we didn't go just real often. The winter scenes are refreshing too. We just have rain here.

  4. You have such great vintage family photos - what fun! The moonrise is beautiful. We've got the extreme cold right now also - it is again about -15 Fahrenheit today, and the wind is bitter. Snowstorm due Tuesday. Ugh. I've had enough!

  5. Love the old family photos. The swimsuits in the last are great! Pretty picture of the moon. We are back to winter here too. Glad the birds still have open water. Thanks for joining Friday's Hunt. Have a great week!
