Fire Island Lighthouse

Last week I took a trip with a few lovely ladies to the Fire Island Lighthouse, located in Fire Island, New York. The sun was out, bright and bold, yet the air was cool and crisp. Perfect for a visit to the Lighthouse and local trails/beach. :)

The Fire Island Lighthouse has an interesting history. At the turn of the century the lighthouse was one of the first rays of light for many ships coming to America. At one point the lighthouse was decommissioned for nautical purposes, but was recommissioned in 1986.

The parking is located a wee bit away from the actual lighthouse, but no complaints, we enjoyed the trail ...

<- This was our first view of the Lighthouse as we began our walk on over :)

Walking up to the lighthouse through a scenic area with sand dunes via the boardwalk...

Took a little while to reach the lighthouse, but we enjoyed the trail.

It looks like winter, like snow, but this is actually sand from the beaches...

We finally arrived at the Lighthouse!


It takes 192 steps in a narrow winding staircase to get to the top! The last 24 steps or so at the tippy top were more like climbing ladder then walkng up a staircase. It took a while to reach the top, but once we got there, the views were beyond worth it!




...and this is a view from one of the mid-windows in the stairwell.... a taste of things to come :)

I couldn't believe how beautiful the views were..

the sky and water so blue, the sun was so bright and the air clear... loved it.

Love the beach and how the waters glistened :)

Jeremy's in Nautical Mile

Nautical Mile is a strip located in Freeport, New York. Known for it's myraid of Seafood Restaurants and Bars, it's a go-to for locals during warmer weather. During the colder winter months most establishments are closed, but on this fine wintery day a friend and I went for a stroll and had a meal at Jeremy's, which remains open year-round (and from what I was told, including Christmas Day, would you believe?)

My friend ordered their home-made chips. She said they were awesome and I didn't doubt her... when they came it was a nice surprise! So yummy and came with dip! :) After trying these I can never have potatoe chips from a bag ever again. I've been spoiled.

For the main course we each had our own grilled tuna, which came with onion, lettuce, tomato all atop yellow rice. Everything was good and fresh, yum!

Winter Jones Beach Adventure

This Valentine's Day I decided to give myself an afternoon treat
and run away to the beach for some fresh air, peace and solace.
.....

Look at this fireball.. amazing..

Look at how the sky swirls! The sun looks like a planet.

      

For a dark winter day, the sky is still so beautiful! :)

Even for a cold winter day, the shore is so calming and relaxing.

Strolled along side a feathery friend.

         

Love the glistening water :)

One of my favorite pics of the day. The shadowing, crisp glistening water, the way the sun is glowing :)
