Summer is here and the best time to see the beach is early in the morning before the crowds arrive. Here is what it looked like this morning.

A beautiful summer morning—just right for a photo walk with Michael and Beverly Miller in Asbury Park. We started at Convention Hall early when we had the pale morning light, and wandered around taking photos as the sky brightened and the beach and boardwalk began to fill up.
Yesterday, February 2 was a beautiful day in Manhattan–although a bit in the brisk side. A stroll around Central Park provided some nice photo opportunities–see below. We will be in Hawaii in a coupe of weeks, so we will be posting from Maui pretty soon.

Well Bali certainly turned out to be exotic. We are now on our way to Java, Indonesia and expect to arrive tomorrow morning. Here are some photos of some of the sights from Bali. They include shots taken at the Royal Court of Justice, Rice Paddies, the Port of Benoa, a woman carrying produce on her head outside the Holy Besakih Temple and a woman carrying her wares on a beach.
