Summer fashions in Ocean Grove, 2017: In case you didn’t notice, this was the summer of gravity-defying short shorts. The fashion caught on like wildfire and also probably caught on elsewhere as well. But it actually first appeared two summers ago when we first reported on it.
Who knew that such shorts were physically possible? As a student of human anatomy, I founds it difficult to explain, but no more difficult than jeans worn halfway down the a guy’s backside, which manage never to fall down.
Butt, it also was the summer for thong bathing suits, rarely seen in the Grove, but more common over in Asbury or a quick jog south to Belmar.
However the strangest women’s fashion look are the black spandex pants that rarely make it down to the ankle, but they are so revealing, that despite covering all critical parts, they do leave nothing to the imagination as they show every curve. Why do that, when a bit of mystery is always more tantalizing to observers? It seems to be a case of follow the leaders.
The funny thing is that men’s summer clothes don’t change much. But they are coming back for a new look this winter, with hoodies that are worn over the head inside, such as walking around Wegmans.

This wading shore bird video was was obtained by Eileen Goldfinger in Jan 2017 in Ft. Myers, in our backyard. It is 3-4.5 feet in height with a wingspan of 5.5-6.6 feet. Yet it only weighs 5-6 pounds due to its hollow bones. In flight it can cruise at 20-30 mph.
The Great Blue can be found year round over most of the U.S. and Central America. They hunt alone but nest in colonies. They are often seen by Wesley Lake or Fletcher Lake. They are very good fishermen.
In the video you can see how still they stand before they make a move. Don’t stop watching until you get to the end. Please put the music on first, and then the video.

Captiva Island, Florida. 2012. By Paul Goldfinger © Click left for full view.
The song “Like Someone in Love” was written in 1944 for a film called “Belle of the Yukon.” Jimmy Van Heusen wrote the music, and Johnny Burke—the lyrics. This is one of the great love songs of all time, but you won’t hear the lyrics on this version. Being an old saxman, I love the interplay between the sax and the trumpet early in the song. Listen for it.

Colors do affect emotions. Designers and marketers are very interested in how colors effect our moods. There are scientists who specialize in this subject.
So whenever I pass the Food Pantry in Fort Myers, I wonder about the colors. It seems like some thought went into this yellow-green color scheme.
Is this just an attempt to create a cheerful tint for those who go there, sort of like rose-colored glasses? Or is there a message there having to do with food sustainability or more generally, the environment? Is the message, “For those of you who come here, know that we are interested in more than merely filling your bellies?”
We don’t know what goes on inside, or what it looks like inside, but the message I see is that those poor people who come for assistance receive more than some canned vegetables. They probably receive heaping portions of good will, smiles, compassion, and support.
