Dave on Long Island's photostream  

I found this quote somewhere online....

'One eye, I somehow know, weeps an old man's tears; the other sparkles like a child's. Got to get there. Really got to. Right to the core of dreams'- D. F. Lewis 'When I Was an Old Man'

I joined Flickr as a way to post pictures of the things I like to grow...never realized that this would become so interesting and so addictive. Live on the extreme N. Shore of Long Island, just east of Pt Jefferson, within walking distance of the unexciting local beaches.

Overeducated, underemployed, mostly wandering through life. Frustrated writer, foodie, animal lover.

There's a lot more to me than my love of green growing things, the kitties and the endlessly growing book collection.

I have an odd sense of humor, so don't be surprised if I make some comment that has you scratching your head until you catch the reference. Don't worry, you will...

Eventually.

Needless to say, if you make me a friend I'll (usually) do the same. Have some pictures (as in original pictures) of your own, please. If you don't have any pictures, I won't block you-but I won't necessarily add you as a contact. Remember, courtesy is as courtesy does. (Please also have pictures other than stuff, if you understand what I'm saying.)

Irritating comments and those with excessive graphics will be deleted and those people who have no clue about courtesy will be blocked. There are some people who have no tact whatsoever.

People who have stolen my pictures here will be blocked immediately. That's just wrong.

If you'd like to use my astonishingly amateurish pictures, feel free to ask. For those who've grabbed my pictures for commercial purposes, you can at least ask before taking. Or, perhaps, throw me a percentage of the profits you make?

Now, stop laughing.

And I'm way over 18 years of age- 49 (sigh)
