Let's Go Take Pictures...

Sailboats docked at Bellport Bay Yacht Club

It was a nice day today, although quite humid.  I've been getting a whole lotta nothing done this summer.  All school year I look forward to the summer so I can "get a lot of things done" and then when the summer comes, I talk myself into procrastinating about just about EVERYTHING - even FUN things I procrastinate because:

it's too hot

it's too humid

I don't want to start _______ and make a big mess

it requires me to spend money that I don't feel like spending

it requires me to plan ahead, and I didn't do that

I'll do it tomorrow

I should have done it last week

I have no one to do it with

I have too much to do already today

I need to clean

I need to make dinner

I should really go to the gym

now, what did I want to do?

why did I want to do that, anyway?

oh, jeez, it's too late, why start that now, I should just go to bed

Whatever the reason is, it's never a really GOOD reason.  After several days of dawdling and spending WAY too much time checking Facebook, Instagram and Twitter (for what, I don't know) I decided I needed a reset.  I don't know exactly why, but I seem to need a job list in order to function efficiently.  I made myself one first thing this morning and lo and behold, I got some stuff done.  

A photo shoot purely for fun was on my list, and my daughter is always game to go for a ride, check out a different place and maybe take some pictures.  I knew the perfect place.  

We hopped in the car and drove to Bellport Bay Yacht Club for a quick photo shoot.

It was a nice day.  Windy, but nice.  Not the best day for curly haired ladies, but still lovely. 

The birds still had a great fishing day, though.  We actually watched this little guy pluck a fish right out of the water.

We didn't stay long, just long enough to get a taste of the salt air and pick up a few pieces of beach glass.

FINALLY, I stopped procrastinating!  Looking forward to seeing what tomorrow brings.  

Making my list already. 

Sagamore Yacht Club - Oyster Bay

Although I would not make a good boater, I love taking pictures of boats.

They have a lot of interesting gadgets...

 and colorful canvases scattered lightly amidst the white.

You can almost feel the light breeze just looking at these pictures, can't you?

Imagine living in that house, and having this view out your living room window?

It may be a little frightening during a storm, but it's wonderfully calming on a nice day.

This is where the phrase, "this is how the other half lives" came from. 

If you aren't living on that half, you can always take pictures.
