Decal

I was in line at the drive-thru watching the Dad and son in the car in front of me. They were laughing and talking and dancing in their seats to the radio.

Made me smile.

I really wanted a shot of the two of them but the angle was wrong and I'm always hesitant to shoot people without their permission.

Then I noticed the decal. Happy son is an added bonus.

Magical Max

The only thing I know for sure about Max is that everyone loves him. There are many stories, bordering on folklore really, about Max. I'm assuming that the folks at Max's Bait and Tackle are Max's foster parents; the sign sits outside their shop and well, there's the name.

Some say he was injured near the launch ramp and nursed back to health by local fishermen. Some say he just appeared one day and captured everyone's heart. One older local smiles and tells me Max is magical; I fall in love with his craggy smile and twinkling eyes.

Max resides in a part of the marina that I don't visit. You need to walk down a steep hill and navigate some rocks to find this little spot of calm. 

I hope to meet him one day.

You Got To Have Friends

For days I passed this bike ...

and then one day ...

And I am all alone

There is no one here beside me

And my problems have all gone

There is no one to deride me

But you got to have friends

The feeling's oh, so strong

You got to have friends

Follow That Sky

My granddaughter Hope once told me that "the sky at the beach is much bigger"

We had some crazy skies last week. Sunny and hot one moment, dark and stormy the next
I saw the dark clouds in the distance and drove down to the beach to see them bigger

In the distance of some shots you can see lower Manhattan and the Verrazano-Narrows bridge connecting Staten Island to Brooklyn
In others there's a dilapidated pier near Sandy Hook and a water tower (just for DARYL) and an amusement park
I'd like to thank the wonderful lady and her pink bow spear for picking up trash off the beach as she took a walk
