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.
For Dan’s Thursday Doors: East Hartford Detour – No Facilities
The first photograph shows the tanacity of nature on my street. The rest are from a winter excursion to Long Island.
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.

Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Great River, Long Island, New York.

There are a lots of ferns in the wetland area in the WOODLAND GARDEN Bayard Cutting Arboretum. It was nice and cool in the shade.
