Back to New York for this post. One of many images on this blog of the Jones Beach State Park water tower.

Another image in the current New York series. There is something about seeing this beautiful beach deserted that adds to its beauty.

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!

So grateful to be back home visiting my parents in New York. Here is Jones Beach on a beautiful evening….

Another post from my recent trip to New York. Spent a wonderful, wintry afternoon at Jones Beach. Could not find a lifeguard anywhere, so I went to this lifeguard station to see if any would show up. None did.

I am having a wonderful time being back home in New York (specifically, East Meadow, NY) visiting my parents and family. My mom and dad still live in the house I grew up in and I love coming “home” to love on them and enjoy them. I also love the shore, especially Jones Beach. I think this is the 7th image that I have posted of the Jones Beach water tower. The next few posts will be from my time back home with my dear parents, in my childhood house on Long Island, near my favorite place to be: the shore.

Bethpage is a town on Long Island, and apparently, this amazing sand sculpture as well! I do believe that the dragon in this sculpture is called Lignum, who can be seen flying around WordPress Land.  😉
