Sunday View - 30 June 2019 Edition

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

After arriving home from the shore and running some errands I took a little time to shoot in my wildflower garden. It's getting bigger and I see more flowers every day. I have also started to see butterflies. I wasn't originally going for that but it's a good thing. I might even get some flowers that will attract more. So when I was finished shooting I happened to see a plain white butterfly (at least I think it was a butterfly) land on one of the bushes next to the garden. Having my camera in hand I proceeded to shoot a few frames to see if I could get a good shot and I ended up with more than I bargained for. Two butterflies (?) to be precise. I didn't see this when I shot it so it really was a pleasant surprise.

Well,  we're down here at the Jersey Shore as we are most weekends and we also happen to be in the middle of a storm. It went from sunny, hot and humid to dark, much cooler and very windy. You can set this in a couple of the photos I'm sharing for today's view. Let's hope this passes by quickly.

Early in the Spring I planted a wildflower garden in our backyard. But for the longest time it seemed like all I was growing was weeds. And then about a week ago I started to see some color and now it really seems to be taking off. I hope that the whole area will be filled in the next few weeks. Today after work I was able to spend a little time shooting some of these new flowers and for today's view I would like to share this one with you. I made this without a tripod and it was getting dark so it's a little soft for my taste but overall I like it. Maybe I'll set up properly later this week and get some better shots.

For the first time this season Kim and I actually spent a little time sitting on the beach. We went to Avalon for a couple hours and man was it packed. I guess everyone else wanted to take advantage of the fabulous weather. For today's view I would like to share a few snapshots with you.

Today is not just Friday Schnitzel picture day, it's also the first day of Summer. Nice timing huh? Today like most Fridays we see him just after our arrival at the camper. This time he decided to jump up onto my chair. That's alright though. I don't mind sharing.

Today after a long and sometimes rainy drive home from the shore I took some time to get out into the Cafe with my camera. I guess the squirrels must have known I was home because they were literally waiting for peanuts. And of course I took advantage of the situation by snapping off a hundred or so frames. For today's view I would like to share this one with you.

I'm not sure what today's view is. Not exactly that is. I do know that it's a wasp but I'm not sure if there is another wasp or if the first one shed it's skin. If that is a second wasp though it is most certainly not alive. Take a look and decide for yourself.

For today's view I would like to share this shot of the jetty at Stone Harbor Point Beach. This is from our Saturday evening trip. As I mentioned in yesterday's post we have never been there before but will certainly be returning. It's one of those places that was right under our noses but we just never made made it to before. I'm sure there's others out there too.

Yesterday Kim and I took a drive over to Stone Harbor Point Beach in of course,  Stone Harbor New Jersey. A couple friends here at the campground told us about it and I am so glad they did. It is a protected beach and is home to many endangered birds and is also a great place to hunt down sea shells. Of which we brought back a couple dozen or so. Maybe I'll share some in a future post.

This morning as I glanced out our front door I noticed we had a couple new guests at the cafe. My camera was already packed in the car for the shore so to get some pictures I had to use my phone. Here is a male and a female mallard duck. They were eating a soft pretzel I threw out for whover wanted it.

Today we travel back to June 6, 2015 in Wildwood Crest New Jersey. As you can see it was a rather dreary day on the beach. In fact we spent maybe 10 minutes out by the water when it started to pour rain. But a rainy day at the shore is still a good day.

Well another weekend at the shore is in the books and it was actually a sunny one. Last year and so far this year we have had a lot of rain. Especially on Saturdays and Sundays. And though we did have a couple downpours on the way home overall it was dry. When we got home this afternoon I spent some time in the Cafe photographing our various guests. In doing so I have noticed that I am able to get closer to our bluejays than I used to. I guess they are getting comfortable with me like our squirrels. For today's view I would like to share this guy with you.
