Easter Sunday in Bushwick

It was a beautiful day to plant a vegetable garden and stroll through the park. The cooling sea breeze arrived around 3:30 p.m., but it was still a gorgeous Easter Sunday here in Bushwick.

Easter on Fire Island

Even though the only eggs I found today were the candies and confections at Jon Wilner's annual Easter brunch in the Fire Island Pines, it was definitely a gorgeous Sunday on the beach.

Sip n' Twirl and the Pines Pantry opened their doors on Friday night, and more than a dozen people had gathered at Island Breeze in Cherry Grove to have one final cocktail before the 5:30 p.m. ferry back to Sayville left. The beach between Atlantic Walk in the Pines to Sailors Haven seemed to weather last week's nor'easter fairly well. And my facial tan became even darker.

Here is a video and some pictures from the day.
