(Aug 23) It is still August on this photoblog (forever?).

I start again, down Harbor Beach Road.

The harbor in Harbor Beach Road

sea grass
Telltale signs water is near

the source of the shit in the area
One of the many birds in the area.

big sky
There are a variety of different “views” here.

The temple of rollerblading
Where it all began. I learned and scraped here.

toward port jefferson
Looking west

toward connecticut
Looking north

toward miller place
Looking east

From the pier

cedar beach
The beach in Harbor Beach Rd.

boats
On the water

finally!
I’ve been trying to get a bee in flight forever.

the winged rat
I’ve never seen anyone actually sitting here.

winding
In all these years, I’ve never been on this path before.

mine's better!
It’s just like this one!

they're not allowed anywhere
Yet one more place nature is prohibited from nature.

tracks
Someone perhaps didn’t get the memo

plaque
This place is in many ways the opposite of the WTC

harbor beach rd
And then back out toward home.

hidden
I like how this looked from the street

(Jun 15) This photoblog now bids adieu to the Sony DSC-N2 I bought in a rush to replace the short-lived Sony whatever that came after the Sony Minidisc, which came after the Kodak somethingorother. My main concern when buying the N2 was that Billy was nearing the end of his days.

Also… I have the use of a car. Photographically, this sort of changes everything.

old car
But first, from the phone one night.

just a lot of woods
The park around the corner. Still haven’t figured out what the deal with it is.

adopt-a-fake-pet
Now that St. Vincent’s is closed, I wonder what happens to the monuments?

moo.
“Our milk is fresh”?

at least they're trying to make lemonade from lemons
Construction in the city happens at a glacial pace.

(May 4) As has been my way since moving back to Long Island, I walked to IBM from Penn Station round-trip. I don’t feel I’m getting $4.50 worth of transportation to go only twenty three blocks north and four or five blocks east and back again. (In May I did Penn Station to 84th and back for a total of one hundred blocks north-south and one east-west)

obey all arrows
This way to Spring

yeah, that
Yellow flower something

drip drip drip
Bleeding hearts

(March 14 & 16) I am now a 5 mile walk to the train. Woe is me.

mt. sinai harbor
The journey starts out in Miller Place.

they're really just big tailpipes
Off in the distance, you can see the smokestacks from the Port Jefferson Power Station, a few blocks from where I lived for eight years.

no gassing allowed
The geese are safe from Michael Bloomberg here

sign not withstanding
It looks a lot more rural here than it really is

this sign either
No hunting. But really, it’s suburbia, honest!

drive shaft
Someone had a really lousy day.

hulk smash!
Lousy enough to make them very angry. But that didn’t change the fact this is a very dangerous road.

it just doesn't have what it takes i guess
And the weathervane has gone down again

ladder co.
Apple’s on fire! … just kidding. Maybe Tony stopped by.

this news surprises no one
The city has crabs.

laurence, get your ass to the meeting!
I passed by the House of Viza, but he was not there.

and metallic
The flowers seem somehow much larger this spring.
