Note - the pictures on this page are compiled from two separate day trips that Robyn and I made to Block Island, 6/26/03 and 8/23/03.
The seagulls follow the ferry looking for handouts They may act like airborne rats, but they really are beautiful birds Austin and Matt and Robyn, setting up camp Looking up the beach Looking down the beach. Not a bad crowd for a Saturday in August. Wild irises growing on the edge of a beach Mmmm, nectar That's one thing I really like about Block Island - consistently accurate signage Robyn is pleased to be on yet another beach A closeup of water riffling over pebbles More seagulls following the ferry back to the mainland after a beautiful day Bye! Homeward bound on the ferry
