Long Island Sunrise
I woke up Friday morning to extraordinarily low temperatures—the coldest day of the season on Long Island so far. I looked my thermometer. 9.1 degrees. “Cool,” I thought. While most people grumble about bad weather I am excited by it. Storms, hail, thunder, ice. All great stuff...
I stepped outside, looked up and saw the stars sparkling against a crystal clear blue-black sky. An icy chill clears the air like nothing else. There wasn’t a cloud in sight and I thought this would be a perfect morning to catch a sunrise at the beach.
No matter where you live on Long Island you’re never very far from the shore. I happen to live very close to the water and within minutes I was at Heckscher State Park taking pictures. Much to my disappointment however, there were clouds on the horizon blocking the sun.
No matter, I came home with a few of good snap shots anyway.
Looking southwest towards the Fire Island Lighthouse.
These ducks were disturbed by my presence and began retreating from the shore. They made
quite a bit of noise complaining about me.
A temperature inversion stretches the Robert Moses Causeway bridge and makes it appear to
float over the Great South Bay.
Fire over Fire Island.
The sun finally rises from behind the clouds painting a bright stripe across the
bay.
The scene looks tranquil enough, but there was a breeze blowing and the temperature was still only about 11 degrees. By the time I was done taking these pictures my hands were frozen solid.
But I got to enjoy another beautiful morning on Long Island. Frostbite? Who cares.

Help a Fellow Long Islander
This is really bad. If you’re in the area and can help out then please…
Annona Restaurant, will host a fundraiser for Robert Pedalino of Wading River on Saturday, January 27 from 8:00 p.m. in its adjacent luxury car showroom, Manhattan Motor Cars.
Pedalino, a United States postal worker for 25 years, fell from the roof of his new home in Wading River leaving him paralyzed from the waist down. Complications from emergency back surgery left him without eyesight. Circumstances worsened when his home was broken into and $25,000 worth of building materials were stolen.
All proceeds from the cash bar will be donated to the Pedalino family with donations graciously accepted on the evening. Entertainment will be by the band Direct Hit.
Visit this link on Localwineevents.com for more information or contact Annona Restaurant at (631) 288-7766 or WordHampton Public Relations at (631) 329-0050.

Restaurant Review: Jedediah Hawkins Inn
Hi folks… Sorry for the long delay in getting
back to blogging after the holidays. I just really needed the vacation.
Here’s a restaurant I can’t wait to visit again. From the phone call to make my reservation through dessert, everything was fantastic.
The only complaint we had was the size of the plates—huge—but in comparison to the rest of the evening, a very minor complaint.
