Color Purple

This is at the beach in Montauk State Park. Eastern most point of Long Island. Home of the oldest lighthouse in New York. What you are looking at is the actual color of the sand that Beej and I were walking on in order to get to where the Harbor Seals were sunbathing at. It had this purpleish color to it that just caught my eye. This is yet another wonder of nature that I got to enjoy with Beej during our travels. To be honest with you, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Harbor Seal

Today Beej and I drove to the Eastern most point of Long Island. It is called Montauk Point State Park and it's a great way to enjoy nature and wildlife. I researched on the internet that during winter months, the seals hang out on the rocks as they like to sunbathe. Beej and I arrived at the Montauk Point Lighthouse and started walking the beach. After quite a walk, we finally found them. This was the first time either one of us ever saw seals in the wild. Normally we have to see them in a zoo so this was absolutely great. I just love nature and wildlife and can go exploring all day long every day (which is why I need to win the lottery). Beej and I were there in the morning as we had to get back before the Superbowl started so we walked back to the truck and headed to our hotel room. It was a very good day.
