At the end of February we went to Planting Fields Arboretum, mainly to photograph the Camellias in the greenhouse. See the interesting history about The Olmsted Brothers and their design.

The first photograph shows the tanacity of nature on my street. The rest are from a winter excursion to Long Island.
Oyster Bay
Had a lovely quiet visit to Center Island Beach, Oyster bay, Long Island, NY last Thursday. As you can see we had the beach almost to ourselves. We ate lunch at what is supposed to be a high end restaurant, Ocean – restaurant | bar | lounge | on the long island sound in Bayville. The food was terrible. Paula’s burger was well-done instead of rare. The replacement wasn’t good meat. My soggy crabcake had no greens or embellishments, just a ton of French fries and a bun, which I did not eat. And Marc’s fish special was so so. The meal cost $170 for 3. I do not understand how they can get away with serving such crap. The one good thing was the ambience.
Captree
Earlier this week we went to the beach. First we went to Jones Beach on Long Island, New York, to enjoy the sun and water. It was a perfect day – not too hot with a lovely ocean breeze. Then we went to to Captree State Park where we barbequed chicken, hotdogs, and corn on the cob. We also ate potato salad, vichyssoise, watermelon, and honeydew. There were lots of people at Jones Beach but almost none at Captree. We got to use our lovely new 7 foot beach umbrella (amazon.com).
