Orient Point State Park

A ride to Orient Point State Park was this weekends destination. Orient though not as popular as Montauk with its light house, is primarily a nature preserve. The summer nesting of Ospreys, Common Terns and Piping Plovers are the attraction here. During the nesting season Park Rangers are available with educational programs on these endangered birds.

Riverhead to Cutchogue, #2


The first time this season riding 2 days back to back. I had anticipated the second day to be tough. However with unexpected headwind of 15-20 mph from the west the ride back was miserable. I stopped to give my legs a needed break. It was low tide and walking onto a sand bar I took this shot. I suddenly had a craving for a Conch (Scungilli) Salad.

Dusk On The Peconic Bay

It was a late afternoon ride and I had to wait until a sudden thunder shower had passed. Just about a mile from home I stopped on the bridge over the creek to admire and capture this view.
