We had a wonderful day yesterday at Barnegat Bay and lighthouse. Sonny and Steven were fishing, and me?, i was sketching.The first we saw was Barnegat Light house. Always loved this Lighthouse. Its the first time in a long time I was able to sketch. Not my greatest work.. but it felt good. The air was wonderful, so calming, so relaxing. I felt right at home as if were a part of the scene, part of the nature that was abound. I listened to seagulls, and watched terns.

Little sanderlings were hopping rocks, fearless of the people walking along walkway. STeven and Sonny were fishing and caught quite a few, maybe blackfish? They threw them back.. it was fun to watch the excitement on Sonnys face, and Stevens too.

Sonny even got a handful of small mussels :)

There were a multitude of terns and sanderlings. So sweet. It amazes me the beauty that surrounds us and many dont even acknowledge their existance.

Heres some footage we took of the sanderlings and the terns. The terns are so incredible. They hover over the water and then dive down to get their meal. Very fast,but never awkward.. very cool..

After the fishing and some souvenir hunting, we went to a bay beach where Steven cooked us some yummy NY strip steaks.. And then we captured the most beautiful sight of all.Nothing more serene and beautiful than seeing our boy tuckered out from a hard day of play..
