some quick but meaningful images from my week at the beach on fire island.....it rained every day until right before i left, then it was 80 and sunny.

my ocean which is a world away from anyone else's atlantic ocean...yet mere steps from anywhere i was the entire week....love it!

cherry trees were in full bloom from harbor to ocean...i didn't know cherry trees were indiginous to dry and sandy regions...hot!







and of course, our renewable resource, bamboo, which is everywhere since there's a severe panda bear and/or koala bear deficit on the barrier island...nothing to naturally eat it back but the dear...which i didn't really see this trip so pics will have to wait.....
