Mosaic Monday: Jersey Shore



It took me a week, but I finally got around to editing my photos from our vacation.  I know some of you may have watched the TV show Jersey Shore...  well, this is the real Jersey shore.  If you get up early enough, you can have the beach almost entirely to yourself, and wow is it ever beautiful!  The beach photos you see here were taken in Wildwood Crest, where the beach itself is about a half mile wide.  What a lovely spot!  The lighthouse is the Cape May lighthouse.  There is a beautiful beach there as well, but no lifeguards.  Cape May is known as a fabulous place to watch birds, and when we were there we saw several white herons although I didn't get any decent photos of them...  :(

  3. The colors are beautiful, cool and cooling... I've never been to the Jersey shore, though I've heard of its beauty many times. I was surprised that the beach is that wide...unheard of here in my corner. So now we know that you were an early riser and enjoyed the beach at the best possible time of day.

  4. I know that beach so well...we have been vacationing in Wildwood Crest for years. It has the most beautiful beaches and you can enjoy the boardwalk in Wildwood when you enjoy it! Living at the top of the Jersey Shore I kind of resent that show.

  14. Your photos are wonderful. When I was a girl I spent a summer in a place called Wildwood about 20 miles south of Atlantic City. I wonder if this is the same place? The photos are so peaceful.
