Hi Paul:
Greetings from Manhattan. I was struck by your quietly beautiful photo, “Beachfront Sunrise,” (posted recently on Blogfinger), and your statement that you preferred sunrises to sunsets because “beginnings are happier than endings.”
Here is the poem, “Dawn,” from my 2008 collection, Father of Water.
Best wishes,
Charles Pierre
Dawn
By Charles Pierre
The first hint of morning on the ocean
is a trembling of shadows,
a dark hovering of muted tones
that moves with imperceptible pace,
a vanishing medium through which
the day brightens and widens,
the new light going on for miles and miles
in the shine of emerging surf.
BILL FRISELL. “Across the Universe.”
Bob Bowné, early bird, greets the dawn at the lighthouse in Sandy Hook.

“Hi Paul…
Funny, I left the house at 5 a.m. to drive up to Sandy Hook to shoot the lighthouse today before the sun came up. I wanted the the lighthouse to be lit, so it had to be an early visit.
“Then later today I looked at the Blogfinger header photo, and if I am not mistaken, that would be the houses on the bay at Fort Hancock at the tip of Sandy Hook.
“Hopefully, that is the last vestiges of snow for us this year in the foreground! Enjoy.”
—Bob
AMY WINEHOUSE: (“Our Day Will Come” was a hit in 1963 with Ruby and the Romantics. It is now part of the first Amy Winehouse posthumous album Lioness: Hidden Treasures.)
This song is a theme for Bob Bowné´s lovely interpretation of the Sandy Hook lighthouse. Congratulations Bob and thanks for sending us this gorgeous image.—-PG

Editor’s note: Bob–welcome back. Did you see any California girls? Thank you for the lovely shot of a beach hut. Perhaps you remember Atilla the Hut. Or Jabba the Hut from Star Wars. (Actually his last name is Hutt).

Ocean Grove. Feb. 14, 2015. By Bob Bowné, special to Blogfinger.
Photographer Bob Bowné went down by the beach at 6:45 pm where he found a “dusting” coming down and a mellow-minded fellow sitting back and enjoying the view from the OG non-fishing pier. Or perhaps, like Beverly Kenney, he’s got something very specific to think about.
“I’m sentimental
“So I walk in the rain
“I’ve got some habits
“Even I can’t explain
“ I start for the corner
“Turn up in Spain
“But why try to change me now?”
BEVERLEY KENNEY: This title could apply to the new pier.

Hi Paul…
I caught some action down at the Shark River Inlet. The Army Corps of Engineers has started dredging the inlet…and this ship is vacuuming sand up off the river bed, filling itself up (low rider), and then, I think…taking it off the coast, dumping it and then coming back in for a little more sucking up!
I bet they found a few clams and an old sneaker or two down there. It was a raw windy day down on the ocean …but the beat goes on……..

By Bob Bowné:
“Hey…thought your readers would find this to be fun….
“This Purple Gallinule has been hanging out in the yard here, down at the beach for the last four days.
He is native of Florida area according to The Audubon Society…so he must be here on a Victorian vacation.
Check out those yellow chicken legs!”
