I love being outdoors and I appreciate nature. When I am out in nature, I am the most happy.
I live on Long Island in New York. So many people have heard of Long Island and may have an inaccurate idea of what it is like. It is very much like other suburban areas of the USA and being close to New York City, it has an added diversity that is wonderful.
I live near the water and enjoy boating. I appreciate all that is available to me. I am able to go where many Long Islanders cannot. The Fire Island National Seashore is limited to access by private boat or ferry. It's nature without the crowds and not far from where I live.
I hope that by seeing my photos, you get an idea of what Long Island is like. I also post photos of my vacations and trips into "the city"...New York City.
Visit my blog, Long Island Woman, to read more about it. I have other websites for posting photos but I post most of them here, on Flickr. You can reach all of my sites through,
www.alidathorpe.com
I enjoy Flickr for the groups and the wonderful, friendly people I meet. We are all in this together, LIFE....we live, we work and when we can, enjoy the day.
I have seen many places in the world through your eyes and love it! Thanks for sharing your photos and your world!
I am currently using the Nikon D300 with various lenses.
My P&S is the Canon G9 with an underwater housing.

The New Man says:
"It's about time I write a testimony that matters most to me. Alida has become one of my favorite flickr friends for a variety of reasons. She takes great pictures consistently around her Long Island community and abroad. Yet what I also appreciate about her is her continual support and education on flickr. Her personal messages and warm comments have helped encourage my own photography more than any other source here on flickr! If you have found Alida's flickr you have found a gem and a great person! Thank you Alida, I appreciate you! :^)"
