These images were sent to us by James Calder of Ocean Grove.  His sister Erin is the photographer and she lives in Neptune.  She doesn’t know the fate of this remarkable creature. She and her husband enjoy photographing sea life.  Looks like they hit the jackpot with this specimen.  Maybe this reptile  from the sea is an omen.

In May a diamond backed terrapin landed on the Ocean Grove beach.  Here is a link:   Terrapin in Ocean Grove

Turtle soup anyone?

STAN GETZ  (tenor sax)  and JOAO GILBERTO (vocals.)   Maybe this turtle is from a place where they speak Portuguese?   Just in case, here is “Para Machuchar Meu Coracao”

 

 

Or maybe this creature is from the Old Testament.  Just in case, here is HAGEVATRON, a folk  choir from Israel singing “Oseh Shalom”  (a welcome in Hebrew)

Bradley Beach gets no respect in Ocean Grove.  We’ve always got our sights on Asbury Park to the north. Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 27. They are having a “music and market” event in Riley Park/ Downtown Square at the train station on Main Street.

It is “Spicy Saturday” from 5-9 pm.  They will have a salsa contest and festival.   Live salsa music with two bands  at 5 pm and at 7 pm.  Ride your bikes over there.

They have other music and market events every Saturday 5-9 pm.

In case you aren’t sure, there is a sign there showing you where Bradley Beach and Ocean Grove are located.  The fence remains, but it doesn’t end at the water’s edge, so it appears to be symbolic.  There are no guards.  We  understand that BB put up the fence.   In the absence of more information, it looks un-neighborly at most and mostly dumb at best.

This morning, on the BB side were two surfers; on the OG side was one fisherman.
