A Summer Day

It is very gratifying sharing my world with you.  Each time I post on my blog it is very exciting knowing people from around the world are viewing my photos and partaking in my hobby.  Today I welcomed an audience from the United States, Russia, Latvia, Netherlands, Canada, Germany and Australia.  Perhaps you may never get to Atlantic City, NJ, but I have chosen to once again return to one of my favorite places, and so we go to the Boardwalk where people enjoy summer days.

 

The boardwalk this time of the year is very busy, but then you can step off the boards and visit the New Jersey Korean War Memorial.

These magnificent statues certainly can reflect a time in history that cannot be forgotten.

Someone once said, "Wars are made by the old, but fought by the young."

He isn't heavy, he's my brother.

To all those who have served or are presently serving this nation is proud of your dedication to this country.

 

  

The Memorial is a place of honor, but it is also a place to reflect and pay tribute.

Now we return to the boardwalk where various food offerings are just too tempting for people to pass by.

Prices are not too bad, everybody likes a bargain.

Perhaps the hazy, lazy days of summer has gotten to this gentleman.

A stop at the ninety nine cent store is a must.  Need a hat, sunglasses, well they are waiting for you here.

The two ladies under these umbrella hats were delighted with their purchase.  They gave a welcoming smile as I passed by.  I hope they had a great day, and so until next time.

 

 

  

Bowling ABC's

Happy memories can last a lifetime.  Taking photographs of family and friends on joyous events bring back happy memories of times shared.  So it was on July 10, 2013 when a fun filled birthday party was held at Strike Zone Bowling Lanes in Egg Harbor City New Jersey.  It was an overcast humid day, but the brightness inside presented a colorful, cheerful atmosphere.  We definitely are in the novice category of bowlers, but it was the fun of the game and company that created lots and lots of laughter.  And that's what it is all about.

 

 

A == always bowl with happy family and friends.

B == bowling balls come in various weights and colors.

C== cake can give the extra energy needed to master the game.

E = eat pizza during the break.

F = feel happy when a strike is made.

G = girls can really move fast !!

I = instructors can be a lifesaver plus they know how to get a strike.

L = laughter adds the special ingredient for game fun.

M = move like you know what you are doing.

N = never give up.

O = oh it was hard to leave but we shall return, after all I must finish the letters of the alphabet.

Egg Harbor City can be very proud of the Strike Zone Lanes.  Our bowling group found the operators very willing to assist in answering any questions, thus helping us to have an enjoyable time.  They also are to be complimented on their menu choices.  The pizza was served hot and delicious.
