It's back...!!! Five Fact Friday! A feature inspired from Kim and Xanthe's site. But it has taken on a twist...it can be 5 anything (not just facts)...whatever rocks your boat.
So, today, it is five photos of a very special place...that has been on my mind the past week or so...
Here's the story...
I've written about my wonderful son, Caleb. I "Googled" his full name one day ... about 8 years ago. Just curious.
"C-A-L-E-B S-M-I-T-H" then hit "ENTER"...
Wow! I couldn't believe it...there was a "Caleb Smith State Park." I vowed if ever it became possible, if I was even remotely close, I would visit there.
In 2009, when Edster and I married...we honeymooned in Maine. I had never been to Maine.
This was my chance...
These photos were taken back in my point and shoot days...the park was beautiful, as I knew it would be. I made quite a collection to make some photos to mount on the walls of Caleb's room at the group home.
But I've been concerned...
You see, Caleb Smith State Park is on Long Island, New York...one of areas of major New York City devastated by Hurricane Sandy at the end of October...
How has the park fared? Is it salvageable? Will I ever be able to return?
Like the spirit of New Yorkers, I believe the park will rebuild...and I will return...and take glorious photos...new ones for the walls of Caleb's room.
