The trees down by the beach in Sayville have unusual shapes do to being exposed to the wind from the Great South Bay. They are gnarly and mishapen, but beautiful anyway.

Lewin Farms Greenhouse
The north fork of Long Island is home to quite a few big nurseries. It is the perfect place to do some plant shopping. The plants by the greenhouses at Lewin Farms in Calverton always look good.

Borough Park in Waldwick, NJ
Over the weekend I took a ride to visit my sister, Mickey who lives in Waldwick, NJ. It was a nice day so we took a ride over to Borough Park in Waldwick. I was able to do a sketch and we also got to log in a few steps while we were there. Across the water there was a deer feeding on the plants.

Lighthouse View from Captree
The Fire Island Lighthouse can be clearly seen from the parking lot across the bay from the island itself at Captree State Park.

Up the Hill
In Bellport there is a street that runs parallel to the water at the end of Bellport Lane. The street goes up a hill after you pass the entrance to the Bellport Dock. With the flowers in bloom it looks really nice.

Related to Exercise
A prompt for the Creative Spark Scavenger Hunt was "related to exercise." I pass this banch of LA Fitness in Patchogue quite often and it fits the bill.

Workmen
There has been a lot of road and utility construction going on all over this area. Recently I spotted a group of workers digging and doing something on one of the corners of my street. Of course there were a lot of workmen, but it seemed like only two were doing anything. lol
