It was just a perfect day for a walk the other day. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and the temperatures were in the mid 70s. It was just the tiniest bit hazy on the water, which softened the horizon to the point that it blended with the sky. On really clear days, New York's Long Island can be seen, and on really, really clear days, the beige sand dunes can be differentiated from the darker flora above them. I love walking along our Long Island Sound no matter what the day is like.
This area's pale pink granite can be seen along the bottom of these photos. My family's granite quarry in Leete's Island, in the next town over, Guilford, furnished the stone for the base of the Statue of Liberty and several other well-known buildings and bridges in New York and New England.
It was just past low tide this day. These rocks are usually just about covered over at high tide.
NICE PICTURES AND GREAT POST.I LOVE THE GRANITE. IN FACT I WISH I HAD A TRUCK LOAD TO USE IN OUR YARD TO DECORATE DIFFERANT AREAS. I ALWAY WANTED A FISH POND. PINK GRANITE WOULD MAKE A POND SPECIAL.I HAVE FUN EVERYDAY ENJOYING ALL THE THINGS I WANT TO DO IN MY HEAD.LOL IT'S FUN. YOU SHOULD SEE ALL THE BEAUTIFUL PAINTING I'VE DONE IN MY HEAD.

Awesome photos. They sort of look like paintings to me. I was down by the water today too with my dog. We took some pics together on this flawless day.
