Not quite sure what to say about this. If I were artsy, I might call it, “A Study in the Great Battle Between Wood and Water.” You thoughts? 🙂

and so the day ends
A summer memory from my time in NY back in July.

A different perspective… it’s good to get one every now and then…

Back to Jones Beach for this post. While home this summer I did something that I don’t remember doing while growing up on Long Island: I rode my bicycle along the Wantagh State Parkway to Jones Beach. You can read about the bike path here. It is full of bikers, runners, people on roller blades and walkers. I rode from East Meadow to Seaford where the path begins in Cedar Creek Park. I loved these early morning rides and enjoying a quiet, almost deserted beach. I felt like I had the boardwalk all to myself. I also was able to take more photos of the Jones Beach water tower (images coming soon). Can’t wait to do it again!

Taken back in July when I went home to New York to be with my parents and help my dad after his 5th knee surgery…yup…that’s a long story. He is doing quite well. Life has been a bit crazy lately but I hope to get back to posting more images here. Thanks for stopping by!
back home
So grateful to be back home visiting my parents in New York. Here is Jones Beach on a beautiful evening….
the shore of my heart
black and white challenge 5
I couldn’t help myself! I am posting 2 images for my final entry in the black and white challenge that I received from the always interesting and informative Darwin on the Rocks and Around the World. Be sure to visit this blog… it’s like taking a journey to wonderful places!
The image above is very special to me. The title is “Father and Son.” That’s my father and oldest son walking on my favorite boardwalk enjoying time together. These are two of the most important, kind, loving, funny, caring men that I will ever know, and my heart was full just watching them walk side by side, hearing my dad impart his wisdom and counsel, and seeing my son listening so respectfully and attentively.
I want to challenge the AY-MAY-ZING Marcelo Leonard to participate in the black and white challenge. Rarely do I visit his blog without saying out loud, “Wow!” Take some time to appreciate his artistry and beautiful photography.
Here are the rules:
1.Post a different black and white photo of yours each day for five consecutive days.
2. Nominate a fellow blogger on each day to continue the challenge. See you tomorrow for the next post.
Finally, below is an image of the cornfield that is about a 3 minute walk from my home. It is very flat in this part of the Mid West, and I desperately miss the shore and mountains, but I have also grown to appreciate the beauty of the open sky and the many stunning sunsets that help me say good bye to the days…
