Labor Day Weekend

I spent the Labor Day weekend with my Mom on Long Island. I take the Cross Sound Ferry from New London, CT to Orient Point, NY. It is a very relaxing trip.

I left my apartment at 6 AM and on the way, heading west, the moon was in all its glory. I pulled off of Route 2 in Arlington to take this picture.

These are homes on the outer edge of New London, CT's harbor. Every time I pass these on the ferry I pick out the ones I wouldn't mind owning.. or more realistically, spending a two week vacation in.

This is one of the lighthouses in New London, CT

Two sailboats out on Long Island Sound half way between New London, CT and Orient Point, NY. There were about 20 sailboats with all different color sails. Just before I took this picture I saw a harbor seal swim by.. I wasn't sure what it was at first, thought it was just a large piece of drift wood, and then it moved.. I didn't have time to take his/her picture.. but am so glad I saw it.

Orient Point, NY lighthouse. It isn't the prettiest lighthouse I've ever seen but a welcome reminder that it is almost time to go down to the car and get ready to exit the ferry.

Sunrise in New Suffolk, NY. What an amazing small town. There are a few restaurants and a gift shop.

Seagulls waiting for.. who knows.. it was about 7 AM. The picture was taken at the boat launch just down the street from my Mom's house. The tide was just starting to come in.

I took over 120 photographs this past weekend. I will publish more over the next few days.
