Indian Point Park Pier 1
Between the water and the bushes in the foreground, the shift of what looks like sandbar, is an oyster shell 'bed' -of sorts! [when under water, an oyster bed is where they breed...]
[enlarge it to see the full view...960x720 - it's much prettier, bigger! and you'll be able to see a couple of gulls to the far left on the pier - the white specks in the sand are oyster shells, and oyster clumps along with many broken oyster shells also.]
The above photo was taken weeks and weeks ago. I must confess, for the last three weeks and more [since Christmas Eve day] we've had nothing but drab, dreary, cold and wet days. Except for one when the sun popped out for about a couple of hours and then went back into hiding. Yesterday, being stir crazy and suffering from cabin fever [our daily walks consisted of either NONE at all or being a mall walker with all the rest], so Bud and I said "screw it, let's walk on the beach anyway." Well, the temp was in the low 60s and little to no breeze at all, but the moisture in the air laid heavy with fog as we drove over to the island. About an hour into our walk, the clouds thinned out and WE HAD A SUNNY SUNNY DAY!!! I got some terrific pictures that I'll share ---even a surfer was out riding the waves. Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day!!!!
[5 a.m.] I DID JUST NOW POST A NEW POST of three photos ON MY PHOTO BLOG [link]. Stay tuned for more posted here, there, everywhere...
most excellent! see, just do what you want and the world plays along with you...
