Jessica and I had the wonderful pleasure of spending a week on the East Coast, eating crabs, lobster, muscles, steamers, salt water taffy….you get the point I’m sure.
Here are just a few of my favorite shots of the trip:

Fox on the beach. This little guy galloped along side our beach cruisers for the better part of a mile…amazing.
Our home for the week.
Seaside Park Boardwalk.
Seaside Park looking north to the Heights…the infamous heights of MTV glory/shame. Guidos/Guidettes/Fry Food and every cliche on the planet…it did NOT let down.
New Jerseyian Gothic
For a beach you have to pay $35 bucks to play on…not too shabby a view.
Private beaches still make little sense to me. What’s next, private air? private trees? Jeesh. But…. the fences make for sweet photo fodder…so my complaints only go so far.
A typical days hike.
I’m not even sure who these people are, but they sure loved posing for photos.
Last weekend Darin, Jen, Jessica & Zoe and I all made the trek out to Anza Borrego. Pictured above, Jessica and Jen holding down the fort while Darin and I shuttle our camping gear out to the site.

The recent rains really brought our an incredible bloom. The desert floor wasn’t blanketed, but the variety of flowers in bloom was unreal. Definitely a special treat.

The moon rising above some Ocotillo blooms.
If you follow the road about 2/3 of the way up the photo, you can just barely make out my jeep at our campsite. We had the entire desert to ourselves.
