Nature

My apologies for the window glare, but today's sunset was too good not to share!

Even though it feels like the middle of June, as we all know it is the middle of October. It's right about now that we should be seeing the annual splash of color across Ocean County.

Due to her frequent visits to the New Jersey coast over the last few years, Mary Lee the great white shark has become just about as much of a celebrity as Snooki and JWoww (and probably more beloved). Now, researchers think that they've made a major discovery just north of us.

It doesn't happen very often, where all of the weather and astronomical conditions are literally perfect for stargazing, so when it does I love to take advantage of it.

As I was walking along the beach this weekend I was struck by the number of rock towers I saw.  They were just stones stacked one on top of the other yet I found them interesting and kind of beautiful, so I took some photos.  I figure they must serve some spiritual purpose so I sat myself on a large rock and enjoyed some quiet contemplation while looking at the "sculpture...

Just two weeks ago we told you about the early and intense invasion of ticks throughout the Jersey Shore. Well, not to be the bearer of bad news, but another nuisance pest is making a return to our area right now.

Beachgoers in Point Pleasant Beach got a treat last week when a humpback whale was spotted right off of Manasquan Inlet, as the giant sea mammals are making their annual migration up the coast.

Those creepy crawly critters that every outdoors person and pet owner fears look to be making an early impact on our area this year.
