Anna Murphey is a retired professional photojournalist who often vacations in Ocean Grove and whose work we have shown in the past. She is currently visiting our town to be here at its most beautiful time—September.
Anna sent us the photo above and she explains the image in her own words:
Paul: “I am attaching a photo I took at Swartswood State Park one April-a warm day, it’s one of my favorites and it ran in the New Jersey Herald during my tenure as Chief Photographer.”
We also asked Anna to suggest a song for her delightful portrait of a young lady.
This is her reply, “Good Day Sunshine,” by the Beatles. As an aside, I saw the Beatles at Shea Stadium in 1964, I still have my ticket stub, I guess that kind of dates me.”
THE BEATLES:
Another cute song for the picture would have been “sunshine lollipops and rainbows” by Lesley Gore. They tend to play it during the summer at the shore.
Sweetest picture ever.
Paul, thank you for posting my photo and the kind comments
