end of the island

This image, and the next more than a few posts, will be from my recent trip to Long Island, and time spent exploring the end of the island, known as, Montauk Point. This was taken as I walked around the perimeter of the lighthouse. More on that lighthouse soon. Thanks for stopping by.

The spring weather in Illinois and in New York has been more like a crazy mash-up of Fall with a touch of Winter: lots of cold rain and gray skies. During my recent trip to New York a beautiful, sunny, bright day made an appearance that coincided with a last minute decision to go to the end of the island. So glad I did.

i can see clearly now

Back home now from my time in New York, however, more images are coming from my time on Long Island. This was taken at the start of our trip just as we were heading towards the George Washington Bridge.

A seaside view of the iconic Jones Beach water tower and several of the buildings along the boardwalk.

seagulls assemble!

Take that Thanos! (I know! Lame! But fun!) Thanks for stopping by.

the chilly atlantic

Definitely too cold for a swim, and too cold for my feet! Perhaps in the summer.

the landing

Let’s bring back Art Deco! Part of the charm and beauty of Jones Beach is the beautiful buildings and bath houses in the Art Deco style. The Landing is a restaurant at Jones Beach.

Or, “That’s where we parked the CAT.”

at the boardwalk… and the shore

Another moment from our day spent at the shore. Thanks for stopping by.
