Stony Brook??????? Long Island?????? ok...where is this place???? I can't imagine living 15 minutes away and not knowing this place!

Stony Brook New York State Park is out in the western part of the state. Once you find 390, it's really easy to get to.

I love their state parks out that way, but I haven't found any cool museums to go visit in that direction. I'm dying to see dinosaur fossils!

Nice shot!

Did you take that with a zoom or did you crop it? Was there even a fence or glass around it?
Bob, would also love to visit that mill, nice shot!!!
Mary, my fave is the water....I love shots like that!
Shawn, Susan....great shots!!!!

Thanks Judi! I like yours a lot too! Silver Lake is a beautiful place! I got quite a few more from there, I'll have to find them though. The zoo is an awesome place to take pictures! It's one of mine & Bryan's favorite place to go. I took that shot with zoom, it's completely uncropped. No fence or glass, they are in an enclosure.

I know, I had that same problem the other day. I'll let Bryan know this is here. He doesn't get on that often, but he's off work the next 2 days.

Still having problems with the quote thing on some pics. Great shots Bob, Simon & Susan!
