Day 35

My favorite little shop in town...sometimes I treat myself to a piece of jewelry. She really has great stuff!

Day 30

This from my archives....when my daughter was in elementary school she was always talking about "the historic deli," and I never really knew what she was talking about. I'd SEEN it, but had never really LOOKED at it til I stopped to take a picture...and now I see it is, indeed, "historic"!

Day 29

Chasing rainbows...literally. We just had a quick thunderstorm pass through town - the sky quickly went from blue and sunny, to dark grey-green with big fast-moving bumpy clouds...there was a downpour...then clearing to blinding sun...I just happened to be out in it and was literally chasing a shot of the dark sky...when lo and behold, there was the rainbow! A DOUBLE rainbow, to boot!

Meditation brings wisdom; lack of meditation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what holds you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom. ~ Buddha

Day 25

the deer!

Day 24

The Indian restaurant down the block closed and a sit-down pizza restaurant is going in its place. They've been working on the building for months. I feel bad for the little family-owned-and-run pizza place down the road. They've really not kept up with "pizza trends," and I'm afraid this new resturant will hurt their business...but I *do* like the changes they've made to the building...

Day 23

Kittens! I took several shots of these kittens...that little grey one kept coming closer and closer...I finally figured I should leave because I didn't want him coming outside the fence to the road...it took every ounce of will power to NOT encourage him to the fence and grab him up and bring him home with me!

Day 22

Slow down and smell the...uh...hydrangea

Day 21

While always a big "flag" town, this year I'm noticing a lot of buntings in Islip...

Day 20

And on many of those beaches, we have flying deer! Watch out!

Day 19

A little quiet on the beach front today...big boomers coming through all day...
