“…..and the rain subsided, the cold snap ended, so it was great for taking a walk. The sky was a panorama of dark gray clouds….it was a dramatic sight…as sometimes it is after rainstorms.”

“A cold dank day in Ocean Grove. Thought I’d head to Odyssey for a cup of brew.
“This coffee house is already morphing into a destination: Cool music in the background, chatter from customers having their coffee, students reading…
“I was lucky to be sitting in the front window, by the door, watching the world go by.
“People coming and going greeting me with a smile, and then saying, “Have a nice day” when they were leaving.
“How did I get so lucky?”

“Hi Paul,
“A passerby advised me that the house on this corner was one of four houses built in Ocean Grove from the Sears and Roebuck catalog. It looks cute and is sitting on valuable property, Ocean Pathway.”

Walking around Wesley Lake today, I came upon a gaggle of Canada geese. Although not very popular with some folks, they are a member of the Natural World. And I decided to photograph them.When I came upon them, one by one they jumped in the Lake. They have their own synchronized style of traveling from one end of the Lake to the other.
Turn on the music and then the video.
