Litter in a beautiful spot

Well, you can't blame that one on Canada Geese.

(You're thinking, she's run out of pix from the archive. Hmm.)

Three Village Church

On 25A in East Setauket is the Three Village Church.

Emma Clark's grave

At the Caroline Church by the entrance are 19th century gravestones. Emma Clark's name is very familiar to us here in the Three Village area because the public library was named for her.

Stone wall

I love stone walls. This one on Van Brunt Manor Road was built recently. I'll be posting other stone pix as there are quite a few interesting ones in our area.

No Hunting

You wouldn't think a No Hunting sign would be necessary in suburbia, but it is. Private property extends right to the water line even if a road separates the front lawn from this patch of land on the Cove. Hunters apparently disregard this. Last year on a Sunday afternoon in January I heard shots coming from this area--I was birding on Shore Road not too far from here--and every duck, swan and goose in Setauket Harbor took off in fright. Someone told me this was legal in hunting season. I was astounded. In suburbia? This owner is making sure there is no confusion about it.
(I happened to be at Port Jefferson Harbor an hour after the shots and saw a small boat come in with three men in camouflage clothing with a sure-nuff hunting dog and the putt-putt boat was covered in straw. Macho men.)

Ready to go

At Poquott beach

Mussel colony

At low tide the living young mussels are exposed to air and sunlight. Taken at the Poquott beach off Van Brunt Manor Road on 3/7/09.
