Using my iPhone
It seems I use my iPhone for photos more often these days. The iPhone camera is amazingly sharp and produces very large photos. The hardest part is holding the thin "camera" steady.
We went into the city yesterday to see The Big Knife one of our Roundabout Theatre plays. It was very dramatic, with no comic relief, which put me on edge and produced feelings of anxiety and sadness. The acting by Bobby Cannavale and Richard Kind was amazing. I was impressed with their endurance for such long stretches of arguing and dramatic expressions.
It's always a treat to go into the city and see a live performance. Being Roundabout subscribers is a way to insure our seven or eight visits into the city each year.
The photo above, taken with the iPhone, is of Times Square.

sunset boat ride

We took a quick boat ride on the Great South Bay to watch the sunset.
It's still a little cool on the water but summer is not too far away! It was just nice to be out there in nature, to enjoy the salt air and the promise of better days to come!

sanderlings
The weather is warming up and that can only mean one thing. It's time to get over to Fire Island! The ferries are running and the beaches are not crowded. Cleanup from Sandy has been taking place all winter. Check it out soon. Start planning...Memorial Day is just two weeks away!

juno beach fishing pier
As the clouds come, so starts the raining season here in Florida. It's time to come home to Long Island. I miss my home, my friends and family. It's the place I feel most comfortable and truly feel "at home."

cinco de mayo
Publix supermarket, here in Florida, had the workers in "cinco de mayo" costumes handing out (pushing) Mexican food items. Couldn't help but feel just a little sorry for them.
This guy was so nice and let me take his picture for the holiday.

The sand dunes of Fire Island
It will be interesting to see how the dunes survived the winter, all after the storm Sandy.

Pousada de Tavira
On my last visit to Portugal, we stayed in Pousadas. They are government owned hotels which are set up in old castles, monasteries, convents, and palaces. I know it sounds very adventurous, but the hotels are well maintained and professionally run. I highly recommend that you check them out! Google: Portugal Posadas.

Mt. Etna, Sicily
I've been thinking of going back to Italy. Beautiful countryside, great food, safe from political violence, friendly warm people, great weather. Why not?
