While my car was being fixed, Toyota dealer lent me a 2016 Prius knowing I would be taking it on this journey. Vicki and I had a great time with a new respect for the beauty on Long Island. LI Visitor Center also nicely done. Lighthouses at Fire Island and Montauk are awe-inspiring, as are the windmills. I had to take a little rest before the last of the 152 stairs in Fire Island’s lighthouse; but, the views from the top of lighthouse were worth the climb. The first order Fresnel lens was a psychedelic type of experience as the volunteer explained and showed its details. What a devotion to figure out and execute the details of the Fresnel lens. One picture of the lens shows the reflection of the lighthouse in its curved glass surface. No bugs were out, so walking on the beach was delightful in both locations. Drove thru the Hamptons which are lovely.
Hither Hills State Park for camping and a hot shower. A side trip to Peconic Bay delighted us with beautiful stones and shells on the shoreline. A stop at Wertheim Natl Wildlife Refuge had wild turkeys. Then to Sagamore Hill, Teddy Roosevelt estate, in Oyster Bay to deal with the 90+ degree temperatures and take in the many animal skins & heads displayed there with the antiques of years ago. Headed back to Montgomery, NY for more of the higher temperatures. Hope all are well and happy!
Co-creators on earth, we choose to create heaven here. . .or not. We cannot control all that occurs, but we can control our response to what occurs.
Now Is Heaven
