a lil' bit of Sun

it was a drive over to the ICW near the Sunset Beach Bridge this early morning at Sunrise.. 'kewl' temps at 30* and no wind which made it bearable.. forecast up to 60* and sunny for the rest of today on this last day of 2016

the drive south..back home

left Brooklyn at 1030am for the drive south towards home..  thought it would be much more crowded but except for a couple of slow downs on the NJ Turnpike all was good.. home at 1015pm..

Sheepshead Bay--bye bye

Merry Christmas

hope all my family and friends have a very Merry Christmas on this very special day ... up early and off to Church for 930am Christmas Mass at St Mark's church here in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn.. church was beautifully decorated for the Christmas holiday.. Pat created a super Italian traditional meal-raviolis- at Cuzzin Mary's house here in Brooklyn

a sunrise walk to the 'Bay'

that's 'Sheepshead Bay' as it is known to us old-timers who lived nearby in Coney Island and hung around here in the 50's & 60's..just a short walk over to the fishing boat docks along Emmons Ave.  Swans galore..Pigeons too of course..gulls all over..  the Brooklyn..Ranger & Amberjack still fixtures among all the regular boats..saw just one fishing charter the Rockfish heading out with 2 aboard looking to hookup on some late season Stripers.. stopped at Emmons Bagels as per my usual--monster size Brooklyn ol'fashion Bagels..  all pics taken with my Note 4 phone
