A Summer Place.... a great movie, a beautiful song and where I live. My town has been a summer resort for as long as NJ has been around and we became a colony in 1660 and a state in 1787 one of the original 13 colonies.
Our water is clean, safe, great surf, and there is beautiful scenery too.
I thought I'd share a bit of the local scenery from my neighborhood with you today.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous, Annie. I never knew NJ was so pretty until I met you! You should be on their board of tourism! Love the sunsets, etc. and the boats. It looks like a very lovely place to live. You are blessed.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful state, most of it heavy forest and seashore, mountains and farms to the northwest. It has been given a very undeserved reputation.
DeleteWhat a beautiful place that you live!
