Aquebogue Firewroks 2015-08-16. Relaxing and have a cup of tea on my deck. The sky suddenly lit up. There wasn't time to set up my camera properly.

Spring 2015 finally here.

Second Day of Spring 2015. The Peconic Bay finally defrosted 

Reeves Inlet from The Peconic Bay. The Osprey should be returning soon.

Two Week prior the Bay was frozen from the North Fork to the Hamptons.

You could skate or walk across the bay.

Late November and all the trees are bare of leaves. A short stop at Jamesport confirms that Winter is not to far away.

Riverhead to New Suffolk Again

It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was riding
The trees went by, me and del were singin
Little runaway, I was flyin
Yeah runnin down a dream
That never would come to me... Tom Petty

I used my MTB for this ride so I wasn't exactly flying. The round trip from the Riverhead Waterfront to New Suffolk 34 miles round trip, I averaged 15.1 MPH, max speed 24.2 MPH going down hill with a good tail wind. Two spots along New Suffolk Avenue have spectacular views of the Peconic Bay and the Salt Marshes.

Tour de Jamesport

What a weekend of bicycling. Denis Mechov won The Giro d'Italia by a close margin. Lance Armstrong finished despite a broken collar bone. Inspired by their accomplishments I rode my version of the Giro, despite my flating at the beach fans waited patiencely to cheer me on.

Aquebogue and Jamesport

Out in the east end of Long Island the summer rental crowds are gone and everything seems to return to its bucolic state. The trees, compared to the Catskill Mountains are not as showy with their colors, the sandy beaches and the gold brown seagrass of the salt marshes all add to the tranquility. These photos were taken along my bicycle route from Aquebogue to Jamesport and Mattituck.
