This is the view, looking northeast, from the little community of

Labor Day Weekend


my beach, originally uploaded by Alida's Photos.

Another few wonderful days on Fire Island. 
The weather has been beautiful, clear, warm and the color of the ocean has been spectacular! 
The water has a clear, almost Caribbean, aqua color.
Labor Day has arrived and the summer activities will wind down, but this beach will be like this for another four weeks or so.
Hope you enjoy your Labor Day!

Prague Evening

Sorry I haven't posted any Long Island photos lately. I've been away.
This image above is just one of the many I took in Prague.
My husband and I took a two week vacation to
 the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary. 
It was quite the experience.
The most interesting part for me, was hearing about the time of Communist rule. 
Our tour guides were women and men who were old enough to remember what it was like to live under a Communist government and explained to us how their lives changed in the past 20 years.
Very interesting. 
It made me realize, once again, how fortunate we really are, here in the USA!
