17.1 mile group hike from Robert Moses Beach Field 5 to the Sunken Forest and back. 15 AMAZING people decided to wake up and seize the day! 15 started. 4 modified the hike and turned back early. 11 went the full distance to the Sunken Forest. We saw lots of deer and AMAZING views throughout the hike. We collected lots of beautiful shells and sea glass along the way. 17+ miles is never easy especially on the beach. Props to everyone that came out today. We earned every step. Of course, I took lots of photos and videos along the way. I hope the rest of the group posts their photos. THANKS to EVERYONE that showed up and participated.more photos and videos on Facebook. #fireisland #fireislandnationalseashore #longIsland #newyork #fireislandlighthouse #hike #hiking #grouphike #adventure #nature #beach #optoutside #findyourpark #nationalparkservice matt_adventure_

✨Reichert Planetarium Reopens✨💫 On June 4!! Please purchase tickets on our website ahead of time. Due to distancing rules we will have a limited capacity, we expect tickets to sell out fast. Safety protocols 😷🚨masks and six-foot social distancing – will be observed, including low seating capacity. Seats and restrooms will be cleaned between shows. Dave Bush, director of the Planetarium, said, “We are very excited to reopen and will offer a wonderful schedule of programming that appeals to a wide range of audiences. In addition, we are bringing back our ever-popular, one-hour live lectures about the nighttime sky on Friday and Saturday nights at 8:00 pm. “Our planetarium technology has never been better. We are ready to amaze and astound our audiences with the breathtaking wonders of the nighttime sky, our solar system, the Milky Way galaxy, and beyond.” In June 2020, Bush added two new advanced systems that greatly improve the visual experience for visitors – laser-beam projectors to enhanced laser light entertainment shows and laser phosphorus full-dome video projectors that generate sharper imagery. The state-of-the-art equipment adds dimension and excitement, he said. 🤩 ... #vanderbiltmuseumandplanetarium #vanderbiltmuseum #discoverlongisland #iloveny #startalk #astronomy #supportthearts #supportscience #supportmuseums vanderbiltmuseum

Set amidst a residential, upper-class neighborhood is 28 preserved acres owned by the North Shore land alliance. The entrance is easy to miss among the private residence's long driveways off Duck Pond Road, but once you find it and make your way to the 4-car maximum parking lot, you'll find a nice spot for a quick 1.5-mile quiet hike with some hills. They are working on renovations of a meadow area and developing some new trails, but this short out-and-back is a pleasant surprise with a nice sunset view for hiking. 🌇 📍Cushman Woods, Matinecock / Locust Valley, NY. #hike #dogsthathike #hiker #womenwhohike #takeahike #hikes #girlswhohike #hikers #hikelife #52hikechallenge #hikersofinstagram #hikevibes #dayhike #hikemore #naturehike #dogswhohike #hikerlife #hike365 #familyhike #hikerslife #instahike #longisland #locustvalley #hikelongisland #hikemoreworryless #cushmanwoods #matinecock #sunsethike #optoutside northshorelandalliance rondola

As the leaves are changing 🍂 So too are they Neither of them in diapers Neither of them technically a baby And though change is beautiful And necessary And happens all the time For this mama To accept that, takes a little while Because as the leaves are changing So too am I From a mama of babies To little boys Who will grow bigger and older In what, I’m sure, will feel like the blink of an eye 💛 On the blog, I’m sharing our recent hike ft. beautiful changing foliage! momentsofmusing
