Westbury House Sunroom

A very elegant sunroom called the west porch. Westbury House — Old Westbury Gardens. Marc signs “Felix” and I sign “SF”.

Old Westbury Gardens

We spent a day at Old Westbury Gardens. Old Westbury is a village in the Town of North Hempstead and Oyster Bay in Nassau County, on the North Shore of Long Island, in New York. 

It took me a long time to process all the pictures because I was receiving treatments for a Lyme flare up. I am on the mend now.

First we attended a tour of the house. More on Old Westbury in the next 8 posts.

Sweetbriar Wildlife

The Sweetbriar Nature Center (sweetbriarnc.org) does animal rescue. The long-eared owl is a rescue. The other two are local residents. I had fun with the chipmunk photograph. It represents our burning forests. Fun fact.: There are more trees on Earth than there are stars in the milky way – there were.

Sweetbriar Nature Center

After visiting the Bayard Cutting Arboretum we drove across Long Island to the charming little Sweetbriar Nature Center (sweetbriarnc.org).

Bayard Cutting Colors

It’s been a while since I made a post. I am dealing with a Lyme flareup for several months that takes up much of my time. We went to Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Long Island a week ago. I’ll be posting the photographs that I decided to process over the next several days.

These two I had fun colorizing adn adding atmosphere.
