Never ceases to amaze me the different moods captured by looking into the sun or having our backs to the sun. Almost like night and day ;-)
There are two osprey perches in the marsh, but they still like hanging out on this largely dead tree. Nice for us as it provides a great view!
Moderately choppy waters on LI Sound; just enough to make for occasional exhilarating splashes.
Always hopeful I'll see a barrage of sailboats with their colorful spinnakers full of wind. This time round it was a fast moving trio.
Kayaking partner :-)
Great Egret…
Same tree on which the osprey like to perch. Could be the tangle tree from Harry Potter ;-) It's been the landing spot for many a bird of prey, including a great horned owl the year we first moved in.
Posterous discoveries – Captions are needed for each pic if I want them to display wholly on the page. Otherwise, noncaptioned photos are displayed in a group requiring clicks to view each.
Okay, this is my last posting of this post! Hopefully it will display the pictures in the order in which they are displayed in the body of my email. The previous posting wound up displaying two pictures of the dead tree and relocating the second gull/tern picture to the end.

Welcome to anyone who pops over to see these pics, but mainly, HI MOM and JAMIE! Thought you'd enjoy seeing what we were up to today :-)
• The red hibiscus is now out on the deck and it sure shows off the Pentax's (my new camera) microscope feature.
• We took a long walk in the cool of the morning, stopping for a rest at The Jay Heritage Center.
• Have always enjoyed those Adirondack chairs on the lawn of a house named "Casablanca" so have finally snapped their pic.
• Took a gloriously long kayak out to the Scotch Caps in Rye Harbour, though the crabs were snapped in the morning while the tide in the creek was still low.

• And as for that orange beaked bird, definitely have to get my bird-snapping technique down and my reflexes a bit faster ;-)
