Went into Manhattan today. The weekend city seems less crowded in summer.

I guess most people head for cooler places, which is fine with me.

I love the "summer in the city," always did, from when I was a teenager. I have great memories of walking through Central Park and hangin' with friends.

My husband and I stay off the Great South Bay and the beaches on the weekend. On Saturdays and Sundays, it's a place for the weekend only crowd. I guess we just do the reverse from most people, but it fits for us.

I played with the fisheye lens today and it's just a "fun" lens. Nothing serious.

Beautiful July!

The weather has been beautiful and the bay was calling!

We enjoyed a day sailing and of course, I had my camera.

A few shots were taken with the Nikon fisheye lens.

Winter on Long Island

The fragmities turn dark, and the trees are bare.

It's winter on Long Island.

Not a bad winter so far. In fact, the weather has been mild.

Surrounded by water, temperatures are usually mild for the Northeast, relatively speaking.

It's just another reason to enjoy Long Island!

~~~~~~~~~~

With New York City just one or two hours away or less, (depending on where you live on Long Island of course), it is such a great place to live.
