Pea Soup, Foggy Greenport Morning
Early Saturday morning in Greenport the fog seemed to roll in and out as the dim sunlight grew in strength or waned with the moving cloud cover. It was easy to imagine whaling ships coming in and out of the harbor as they had back in the early 1800s, unload their cargo of oil rendered from whale fat and get new supplies from S. T. Preston & Son, the oldest ship chandlery in the northeast. During the prohibition era rum runners had a field day coming in at night with a cover of fog and pulling straight under Claudio's to upload directly into that venerable restaurant's storage area. I plan to post photos of these establishments when I get a brighter day.

Metamorphosis, Poppy
As I walked on our boardwalk today I noticed that a bit of orange was showing on a poppy bud. I wanted to capture the unfolding. It was a very slow opening with grace and no fanfare, just giving itself to the sun.
Out of nearly 50 photos I managed to get three that were pretty close-up without too much blur (me, camera, no tripod). The first photo of buds is that of a neighboring poppy.

Trimble's Nursery
Trimble's of Corchaug is a great place to go for plants and trees mostly native to the area. The management is wonderful and they provide a library for our use in a small "green" building with plantings on the roof. It's a good place to go for ideas or just to look around and relax

The North Fork
We'd been looking for a house for nearly four years when we saw a notice of an annual antiques show to be held on the Village Green in Cutchogue. This became our first trip to the North Fork (for Amy, since age 10) and we immediately knew this would be "home". Below is a picture of a yard sale on the green from last weekend.
Just A Note...
My brother Evan is a wonderful photographer. He and his wife are spending the month in Paris, working in the Library at the Mennonite Center, going to concerts and taking pictures. Evan has a great eye for a photo and I'd like to invite you to view his blog, Kreider's Korner. There are many shots from Paris, Vancouver, B.C. and elsewhere.

Founder's Landing & Town Creek
Founder's Landing, where the settlers stepped ashore in 1640 to found the town of Southold at the mouth of Town Creek. Amy and her brothers and sisters played in the sand and learned to swim here when staying with their grandparents on Jockey Creek.
