Long Island, New York as a whole is often referred to as a bedroom community of New York City. But, Long Island is much more than that. It is a fish-shaped island that sits in the Atlantic Ocean and is connected to Manhattan by several bridges and tunnels. It was once inhabited by American Indians and as the years passed much of it was turned into farm land and ship building communities by the European settlers. It played a part in the American Revolution and in WWII. Eventually, the farms and shipbuilding communities dwindled while suburban homes and towns grew up throughout the island. Because it is an island surrounded by water it has a vast and beautiful coastline. Although now a very cosmopolitan area to this day Long Island is still filled with natural beauty of all types. It is my beloved home. To enlarge a photo just click on it. And, here is my little corner of Long Island....

AGAIN I BEGIN A BLOG...

As blogs go this is the beginning post of "A Long Island Summer In Pictures", but it will wind up being at the end of the blog as it is viewed.  So, with these few spring photos I'll say both hello and goodbye.  God willing there will be many more beautiful posts to come in this blog before it truly ends, however.  

Speaking of God I'd like to thank Him, The Great Creator,  for the beauty He sets before me each and every day,  for my healthy eyes to see it and for the way it always fills my soul.  My hope is that viewing these photos has given your day at least a few moments of pleasure, peace and enjoyment, as well.  God Bless.   ~Judi
