This “shore town” is not a beach community; more of a “Garden State” sort of place. All photos by Paul Goldfinger © Blogfinger.net Click to make the plants grow. May 30, 2018
There is a huge selection of bedding plants. Blogfinger photo.

In 1663, the Parker family received a land grant from the King of England. The land was farmed by the family and was turned into a farm market in 1908.
From the Sickles web site.
Eileen likes to go there for spring flowers to plant. They have a fine selection. They also have a market where you can get gardening equipment, baked goods and a deli counter. We were there recently and had coffee and rugelach (pretty good for such a Waspy place—in the heart of Rumson country.)
If you want to take a lovely ride and make believe you are in the heart of Connecticut’s “Gold Coast” drive north along the Ocean picking up Ocean Avenue in Asbury Park. Pass through Deal, Long Branch, Monmouth Beach, and Sea Bright, riding between the Ocean and the Navesink River.
When you get to the bridge across the river to Rumson, turn left there and continue driving along Rumson Road. You will be impressed. The estates are a feast for the eyes.
Keep going until you come to Sickles Farm (no apostrophe) They have parking and they have a playground and a ball field.

By Paul Goldfinger, Editor@Blogfinger.net
There are those who believe that Cookman Avenue is the center of town, but A.Park has many lovely avenues including First Avenue, Grand Avenue, Sunset Avenue, and quite a few of the numbered avenues west of the tracks.
Here is a link to one of our posts about Grand Avenue:
We have a winner for our contest: It is AMM whom we will contact to arrange his prize.
The Velours love this wonderful color. Go ahead, invite him over. A. Park is a very sociable town.

Ocean Grove cottage. Isn’t she lovely? Blogfinger photo ©
You can get $130 per night rental on Airbnb for this little house. The cottage might be worth $325,000. It gives a new incentive to buy such a comfy place. OG cottages are continuously coveted for their cozy presence—very good for a single person, but now, as a rental, there is more to this than meets the eye.
Note: There is no indication that this cottage is for sale. Tell us the exact address and win a genuine OG car (or fridge) magnet, made in the USA with outdoor vinyl. For sale at Gingerbreads.
The winner of our name that jewel contest is Danielle Murray. She can receive her prize by emailing us with her delivery address.

Boynton Beach still-life. By Paul Goldfinger. March, 2017. © You will have to click and enlarge.
I generally don’t like to photograph trees or other still lifes. But this photograph taken at a nature preserve in Boynton Beach, Florida (east coast) is not about the trees.
You can win a genuine Paul Goldfinger (me!) black and white signed photograph mounted on mat board and ready to sit on a shelf in your house. No frame is needed or desired. It is an objet d’art, if I say so myself, which I do now. Be the first to identify the creature in the tree.
And while you are searching, start the music (below) to add a soundtrack to your quest.
THE COASTERS:
We have a winner. 5 Blogfinger readers spotted the little owl, but Lee Morgan was first. We also saw an owl family, Mom, Pop and 2 kids, but I didn’t get that photo. The kids got wet and dried themselves with a towl.
