Focus: Branching Out with River Time Buds

Gallery

There’s nothing quite like branching out to a budding riverfront perspective — down by the Navesink at the Fair Haven Dock, of course.

Yes, spring has sprung. The buds are budding. And when it comes to seeing the river for the trees, the view is always the most flattering panoramic close-up of sunshine on an old friend.

It always smiles back and reaches out to hold with a tight hug. The buds on the trees branch out pulling you in to a new season, new day down by the river.

Happy budding river time 2023! (CLICK on one of the photos in the above gallery to enlarge and scroll. Enjoy!)

You could tell one was coming when he would get a little twinkle in his eye and start elbowing the person next to him while winking.

It often left you with his infectious laughter ringing in your ears and a new understanding of the phrase ‘when Irish eyes are smiling.'” ~ family of Roger Fitzsimmons
