Riding my bike to the marina this morning brought some special treats. The bay was nearly placid. The only thing that disturbed it were the Fire Island Ferries. Several blue law crabs swam effortlessly along side of the dock. A loon dove for fish. Just a handful of people were there.

A Swallow dove for me then turned at the minute. The splash pool was empty. The sun rose quietly. A lady was at the water's edge sitting looking over across the bay to the barrier island and the lighthouse.

I love Long Island's south shore.
