SHADES OF BLUE

Elisa Hendrey of Sound Beach took this photo on April 17 at the new fishing pier at Cedar Beach in Mt. Sinai. She writes, ‘This is one of my favorite places to walk and take photographs. I was attracted by the intense color of the water and the beautiful sky as well as the long parallel lines of the pier and the rock jetty.

A STATUESQUE SIGHT

Michael Perlotto of Stony Brook snapped this incredible photo in mid-March. He writes, ‘I was walking at dusk on Trustees Road [at West Meadow Beach]. I rounded the corner and came upon this amazing scene.  I was the only one within eyesight … you could hear a pin drop as the deer stood off on the horizon.  I quickly took this picture with my iPhone as the deer stood perfectly still like statues!’

CHARADRIUS MELODUS SIGHTING

Tom Caruso of Smithtown went to Short Beach in Nissequogue on March 13 and came upon his favorite shorebird. He writes, ‘I was walking along the beach when I caught something moving from the corner of my eye.  After a few seconds I realized that it was this piping plover moving through the reeds that washed up on the shore.  I followed it for a while and was able to snap several pictures of it.

BEACH OF SHAME

Michael A. Colamussi of Rocky Point took photos of discarded helium balloons found along a five mile stretch of beach between Rocky Point and Shoreham the weekend after Valentine’s Day and created this collage. 

His wife Nancy writes, ‘Some of these balloons had beautiful messages of love, no doubt written and released for someone lost this year.  I doubt people are thinking about how harmful balloons are to our beaches and marine life during such a difficult time. Perhaps with Earth Day coming up next month, the newspaper could print a reminder to people to discard of balloons properly and even search for biodegradable products.  Perhaps, releasing a lantern instead? It would be nice to see the stores that sell these balloons post such a statement in their stores as well.

NORTH SHORE WINTER

Gerard Romano of Port Jefferson Station snapped this serene photo on Feb. 14. He writes, ‘Color our world white these days. I stopped by Port Jefferson’s East Beach to see the impact the Nor’easters have had on the newly reconstituted beach but with a fresh blanket of snow it was not possible.
