I think this structure was the place to rent umbrellas. Taken on a cold January day, so, no umbrella required. Jones Beach, NY.

winter’s shore
This has been a wonderful week loving on my elderly parents, laughing with my siblings, and walking along the shore during this trip to my home town: East Meadow, NY. So grateful to take home some new memories… grateful for family, friends, and, this beautiful world…

Here is the Jones Beach Water Tower. You can see the stone structures at the bottom that house the lights that were in my previous post. I have an abiding love and heart for the shore, and, the memories that I have of growing up around this beach. This beautiful tower (it actually is a functioning water tower) is representative of the art deco design featured throughout the bath houses and other structures of Jones Beach.

I am enjoying a visit with my parents this week on Long Island, in New York. My parents still live in the house I grew up in, which makes coming home lots of fun! This was taken at Jones Beach, not far from my home in New York. These structures house the lights that illuminate the Jones Beach Water Tower.

Well…. since winter has made a grand entrance into the Chicago area, sending temperatures deep into chilly territory (a low of 10 degrees Fahrenheit tonight and a high of 19 degrees Fahrenheit tomorrow), I thought I would post a couple of images from back home. This is a parking spot for bikes at Jones Beach, on Long Island. I grew up about 15 minutes from the beaches along the southern shore of Long Island, and I miss them very much. New York has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world (not that I have sampled many shores around this world… that being said, I am totally biased, and, right!). Anytime I am in NY, whatever the season, I take time to head for the beach and enjoy…. salty air, the constant white noise of the waves, the vast ocean… and time visiting so many memories of family and friends along the shore…

This was taken at Jones Beach, NY, on a much more peaceful day than today. My mind and heart are turned back home. My family is safe, but I know that many are not. I hope that those who have suffered so much during this storm can find peace and safety.
