Nice capture Debby with a unique background, where was it taken as it looks like moss covered rocks. #1463952Deborah Lewinson May 19, 2012
Thanks, Jeffrey! It was taken at Barnegat Lighthouse State Park in the winter. This is the beach side of the jetty during a high tide.If you haven't been it's known for the Harlequin and other sea ducks in the winter, as well as the purple sandpipers.
