nyc | seaside town

City Island
love seaside towns and city island is actually located nearby in the bronx.

City Island
it is quaint and has a nice mix of architectural-styles, along with the requisite lobster house. i love lobster rolls because they're compact and i don't have to actually choose a lobster.

City Island
this truck is fantastic and so is the matching house, which is represented in three photos in this set. can we say 'stalker' or 'peeping tom' ;)?

City Island
zinnias are a favorite flower and so are those flowing grasses. i know, it always comes back to flowers. i just can't help myself.


this is the view of the bay from the cemetery. pretty nice and quiet.

now, in the interest of full disclosure, these pics are were taken several months ago, but getting their debut, today. scott had to work saturday and yesterday we just wandered around aimlessly to give him a break. in my quiet, alone time, i did find quite a bit of new music for y'all. first up is laredo from band of horses with its quintessential summer vibe. i love the photography in the video, too. hope your weekend was great!

xo, cindy

ps we are so hooked on dexter. we'll get a dvd with four episodes on it and try to watch only one a day. IMPOSSIBLE! and, is anyone watching mad men this season?

i'm SO hooked on dexter. i actually had to put it aside and watch Six Feet Under (which i subsequently developed an addiction to, as well!)
