I've never seen or heard of this plant before and when I spotted it, I knew it was a must have.... it's also attracts bees and butterflies...
it's an annual, so I might have to bring it indoors for the winter...
Sternula Antillarum
It's said that once the babies hatch, the male leaves and lets the female fend for herself. It was evident here. At one point the mom took off to get food for the young ones and left them alone.
For this shot, we laid on the sand for a good amount of time and didn't move till the mom trusted us. She didn't mind we were this close. Only a couple of photographers walked to this spot to see the colony.

One of two - Osprey I think - literally circling above me. I saw one of them the other day in a tree in my back yard. and they are hanging around here. Any luck, they are a breeding pair with a nest nearby. Good thing they can't handle a 70lb dog!
How amazing is it that we are wired to respond emotionally to beauty. I think it's a miraculous side effect of fear.

When people think of Long Island, New York they picture long, sandy beaches. But that is the south shore of our 23 mile wide and 120 miles long island. This is North Shore which has lots of woods and can be very hilly. This photo was taken from Centerport Beach looking south.
Taken with a 15-second exposure, because no, my reflexes aren't fast enough to catch lightning.
This one really is better in a larger size
Two Months ago I went for some shots at Northport harbor,
this couple were sailing in from the bay thus the tittle and the song:-)))
Please listen...
