Someone walked away from the bench. The sun hid behind the clouds. The river’s tide went out. Yet, it never left. Never does.

Focus: Day is Done in Rumson
Yes, it’s just another Rumson sunset.
With the weather leaping from spring to summer sort of temperatures, lots of people flocked to Barnacle Bill’s for dinner on Wednesday night. Though, that’s not so unusual.
Another thing that’s not so unusual is the pristine view of the sunset over the Navesink River. It just doesn’t get old.
So, why not grab a couple of glimpses as the ball of fire retreats below the horizon? Why not, indeed.
Good night …
Take a look at the rapid progression … (And don’t forget to click to enlarge!)

Focus: Sunny Daze River Romp
Well, after more soggy, rainy days, the sun made an appearance in the Rumson-Fair Haven area and beckoned people back to the Navesink riverfront.
At the Fair Haven Dock, the scene was one of solitary sun worshipping and a little riverfront romping. Contentment. Comfort on the homefront.
As the forecast tells, the sun will just do a bit of peering on Monday. Then we’ll be hit with hazardous rainy conditions by Tuesday. So, enjoy and get your river romping in.
According to the National Weather Service, there will be rain after 11 p.m. on Monday and showers with a possible thunderstorm and a flood watch on Tuesday. Though, the temperature will hit the mid-60s. The sun comes back on Wednesday.
Happy Monday!

Focus: Rumson Riverfront Nightfall
Nothing says “day is done” quite like watching the beginning of a sunset on the Navesink River in Rumson.
The serene scene speaks that and so much more, with a sigh of gratitude from the shoreline.
Take a look … Good night Rumson-Fair Haven area river rats.

Memorial Day Romping on the River
In addition to the remembrances, Memorial Day was also a sunny day well suited for a little romping on the river.
Several gathered at the River Rats’ spot on the Navesink at the end of Battin Road in Fair Haven on Monday.
Rumson-Fair Haven Retrospect caught a little glimpse of some of the fun.
Take a look.
Sunny Daze Down by the River

Our Retro Pic of the Day is a warm look back on one of those seemingly perfect days down by the Navesink River.
It was just one of those days — a day that the picture there was worth about 5,000 words on why the Rumson-Fair Haven area is such a great place to live.
The sun was shining, the scene was serene and, a couple of best buds waded in the water, made friends with hermit crabs and shared the wealth of their elating experience.
There’s nothing quite like the happy faces of kids enjoying life down by the river.
Navesink Nightfall Scene in Rumson

The sunset scene on the icy Navesink River from Rumson’s Victory Park was a warm one Thursday night.
Light reflected in the frozen still waters set a peaceful tone — a view of life in this riverfront suburb.
