Irene Aftermath/ Long Island

By Elizabethwix

All state parks are closed so instead of going to the beach we went to visit a friend in Huntington

where lots of families are still without power, so the bagel shop was extra popular.

A big tree had fallen in Heckscher Park  -- one of a huge number of trees all over the place.

The guys sawing it up were pretty keen to have their photo taken.

On the village green the usual gaggle of Canada geese

wandering near toppled trees and fallen branches.

We passed by the little old house where our children grew up

and pondered the maple soaring above it.
ps Doesn't Irene Aftermath sound like a novelist who specializes in romance?
