Catalina with Kathy ... then Jones Beach

Stella & Google were really excited when we told them Kathy was coming to visit them today.


Thanks for the pic, Kathy! Love it!!!


 Google loves posing!

Selfie with Stella, Mary, Google & Kathy.

 Don't get your head stuck!

You are my sunshine!

We stopped at Jones Beach before dinner.

Pies, Ice Cream & Apple Picking ... then Sunset & Moonrise

Briermere Farms pies are the best!

Star Confectionery in Riverhead did not disappoint.


Lunch & ice cream with Mary, Andrea & Helaine.

Hot fudge sundae ... before

Hot fudge sundae ... after! LOL!

After lunch, we went apple picking at Lewin Farms on Long Island.

Helaine was picking on her tippy toes!

We got back to Catalina in time to see the sunset, then moonrise.

Fashion Shoot at Catalina

Parking for models, crew, craft services, equipment truck, etc.

The weather was terrible but the fashion shoot continued. The photographer was happy with the muted colors & he had plenty of lights & assistants to make everything look great.

Labor Day

Google & Stella settled into the bungalow.

After a full season of flying, the flags around the pool are getting tattered.


The pups went to dinner with us in Massapequa. I love the "B&W look" of the pic Mary shot at the All American Drive-In. We ordered 3 cheeseburgers, so naturally I thought one was for Stella & Google to split. Oops! I guess they already had dinner & were only supposed to have a little cheeseburger as a treat.

Back at the bungalow, checking out iPhone pix from Madeline & John's wedding with Patty, Google & Bobby.

The Road to NY ... Day 2

On the road again ...

I think Google & Stella like being together in the back seat.

Stella has all of the comforts of home ... her comfy bed & spa pillow.

Google is so happy to be on a road trip! Look at that smile!

When we finally got to Catalina, everyone was happy to go for a walk.

Road Trip to NY 2022

Stella & Google didn't understand the gigantic fire hydrant.


I always love to shoot pix of old ads on brick buildings.

BBQ lunch with the pups in the car at Maurice's Piggie Park.

What's a road trip without local ice cream?!? Zesto in West Columbia, SC ... since 1949!

Serena's Last Match ... & First/Last Pix

Serena, the GOAT, retired tonight after her third round loss to Ajla Tomljanović (5-7, 7-6, 1-6) at the US Open. So sad!

 
The first time I photographed Serena was in 1992. She was 10 years old!
 

The last time I photographed her was at the 2018 US Open. She beat Venus 6-1, 6-2 in the third round.
