Fire Island morning..."pre-Sandy". Until very recently many FI communities have been off-limits for non-residents as rebuilding efforts have been underway.

We're back! Recess is ready to rock and roll (literally) and I'm reminded just how differently wind conditions can be on the Great South Bay. These are not the calm waters of Tequesta's intracoastal!

Juno Beach Curl

Juno Beach, Florida.....we got to see some great surfing during our last week. It'll be awhile before Long Island surfers go without a wetsuit!

LaGuardia Landing

There's a reason so many folks head back north come April/May. Florida's higher temps and increased rainfall make the cooler northeast spring refreshing. Nice to be back on my island!

Yes...that is the way my compass is pointing. The road starts here, time to enjoy Long Island!  I don't think that I shall miss the Floridian summer.

The Pier

The Juno Pier...not only a great photography venue to catch surfers. Here one can stroll out in the ocean, get a tan, catch some fish, gaze at the beach from beyond the breakers or catch a sunrise to warm the soul.

Wave Ride

One of the very few advantages of high surf conditions....And, the photographers love it!

Beach Boat

Juno Beach....take comfort in the fact that help is always nearby. Life is Good!

Turn Turn

Power Steering: Appreciating the talent that frequently is overlooked as these guys "turn on a dime". No rudder, no steering wheel just a whole lot of body English! Nice turn....

Juno Surfer

Juno Surfer, originally uploaded by Chris S Thorpe.
The surf's up along Juno and Jupiter's beachfront. That can mean only one thing...surfers (and photographers) flock to the beach. Showtime, however, seems to involve the same five or six surfers in spite of the fact that the waves are filled with folks "sitting" and "bobbing" on their boards! Fun to watch...

Evening Sail

It's a perfect evening for that late day sail. Life is good.

Sunset Toast

There are times when I think, "It just does not get much better than this". A sunset toast with friends in a peaceful waterside setting is one of those times.

Mallory Square Sunset

Concert goers?? No, just the daily crowd getting a good viewing spot for the evening's sunset. Mallory Square in Key West.

Inlet Sunset

Sunset on Jupiter Inlet....Although most days end with a impressive sunset I find each to be unique and worthy of much appreciation! Life is Good.
