I'm crabby
The Bay is still recovering from the beating it got several weeks ago. The Nor'easter had washed a giant dock ashore. It must have measured 40 feet by 40 feet. It was an honest to goodness dock that must have torn off and went for a wild ride during the storm. It ended up on the beach here and it was so heavy there was no way a human being could move it. But today it was gone. The water and tides have amazing strength! There were also a lot of dead baby horseshoe crabs washed up today. The water is clean and sparkly. Too cloudy for a good sunset. If anyone heard loud singing on Friday night it was my friends and I belting out our favorite songs. We take requests!

The Calm
On Saturday the Smithtown Bay bitch-slapped me and swept my driftwood bench away, swallowed it up, never to be seen again. The storm churned up the bay's bottom and deposited hundreds and hundreds of star fish on the shore. I also found about 50 baby horse shoe crabs. I threw them all back. They were still like embryos! But today's photo shows the bay at sunset last night. Calm as a sleeping child. Makes you wonder if all that rain, wind and tide surges ever took place at all. The sky was perfect and beautiful in its simplicity.
