Border

A small stone, looking like a tombstone, is off the side of this country road to show the New York-Pennsylvania border. Very interesting spot and not very well marked. Near Deposit and Hancock, NY.

River in Autumn

West Branch of the Delaware River

Fly Fishing

The weather was beautiful but we didn't catch any fish. It is really not the season so it gives us a reason to return in the spring.

Hillside Church

Church in the hillside, near Deposit, NY. We went for a mini-vacation to see the autumn colors and try a little fly-fishing. We had a wonderful time. We spent a few days in a log cabin on the West Branch of the Delaware River.

Ground Zero. The gates were closed so we couldn't see the big opening, or hole, in the ground. People walk around here with a reflective , somber expression.

aliens...no, two people in one of the tunnels in Central Park

A small alley off Fulton Street in lower Manhattan. We did a great deal of walking, all day.

Our NYC trip for our Oregon friends...

We were in Manhattan, October 9th, the day of the big bomb threat. Plenty of police around. We were concerned but went anyway. Anthony and Lorna were on vacation; they didn't care! Read more below about our fun-filled weekend!

Day two of Lorna and Anthony's visit. This is a fishing boat returning to Montauk Point. Cloudy, misty and rain, but they didn't care...they were on vacation.

We took Anthony and Lorna to Montauk Point...the end of Long Island. The sky was gray and cloudy. It was misty and rainy. They didn't care...

Lorna and Anthony

Our friends, Lorna and Anthony from Oregon. We gave them the grand tour of Long Island and of New York City for the past few days. They loved it and we had lots of fun! It was cloudy and over-cast the entire time but it didn't matter....they were on vacation! They work for the post office in Oregon so we took this photo for them to show their co-workers.

Great South Bay on a gray cloudy day, October 7th, 2005. We have visitors from Oregon...their first time to NY. The weather would not stop the boat ride to Fire Island. I think they really enjoyed seeing the beach and riding across the bay.

Atlantic Ocean on Fire Island. The water was low tide which seemed to create more waves further out.

walkway to the beach. The weather the last few days has been spectacular...clear, dry and the perfect temperature. A perfect day to barbeque on the beach and enjoy the fresh air, birds and search for seashells.

The K Boat. This is a Suffolk County Police Boat. It patrols the Great South Bay. Boats of different sizes and functions have different letter markings.

Young surfers trying out the surf today, October 2, 2005, one of the most perfect days for the beach.
