Okay, okay! Supermarket shelves! But couldn't resist the look of the Bubba burgers and huge spices!

I mean for a photograph, not to buy! 


Stopped twice for trains on our way out to dinner the other night..


I love the sound of the trains here... 


Above I took on the bridge taking us to Fire Island and the TWA flight 800 memorial..



Couple of random photographers taken out in the Hamptons...

I don't normally post food on my Blog, maps yes, but not here...

But! This! Was absolutely amazing! At the Bayside Clam & Grill, East Islip Marina Park! This was Pina Colada coconut shrimp! 

Just looking at it, I want it again right now! And will have to make it! And the fries! WoW, they were amazing, very different.. just the best!

On the road as we neared the marina we past deer, on both sides of the road, and turkeys!! Lols, yes! turkeys!

And now, my last evening of my last day here with my aunt ... We have eaten a lot today, she just said after we finished off bowls of peach ice-cream, that she'd eat no more today! And I can't keep staying if she eats so much and puts weight on! 

I'm checked on for my flight, and this time tomorrow will be in the air..

Already missing her..

More from TWA memorial...

Seeing so many family names side by side is heartbreaking..

Flags from each nation who lost souls...



They didn't stop until they found every single person from the sea.. every one..

and most of the wreckage..

Fire Island

Back from the states now... Clothes washed dried and put away... cases cleared...

Link to a short story in pictures... https://plus.google.com/108650660073393704923/stories/78cb1f52-6348-37fd-9d39-8744d8d93232146bff9c524/1?authkey

Hope this works!


Some beautiful flowers on this tree above at a cousins home out on Long Island...


Great wall plaque on their home too! Could do with one of these here...


Yes, looks like I stalked their home...


Fire Island, and its lighthouse, was a good walk along from the car park to the lighthouse, looks small here... considering the real height of it though!!!  And everywhere I went Cardinal birds were with me, word on the street was that to see a Cardinal means someone who has passed over is nearby... Hmmm just checked this out on the net, there are so many meanings, I guess all it really means is... I saw lots of Cardinals!


Just a tree near the lighthouse... I liked it, its here!


A view from the top of the lighthouse, up there was a man, I said 'hello' and inquired about the place some more, turned out he had been to Neath! He was someone best man back in the 1970's... small world then!


What a view from here... Also from here you can see the city...


The beach was quite empty up until nearer the car park when it really got packed out, lots of people sunbathing, lots in thongs! Men only seemed!! OMG!! NO!!!! Really????


We were the most dressed people there! Me and cousin walked with our feet in the warm ocean... beautiful day, beautiful ocean... Just Beautiful...
