Alien Invasion

When I got home from the holidays my pumpkin had a big hole. Looks like a squirrel went in to feast on pumpkin seeds.

Hampton Land South

Hampton House was completed in 1790 by the Ridgely family. At that time, it was the largest home in North America. The Ridgely Family continued to occupy the property up to 1945. The home's design was based on manor houses in England. Surprisingly this home is located in Towson Maryland more than 300 miles south of the Hamptons we know.

Late Bloomer ?

With temperatures in the 60's this December my magnolia has buds. But I have not seen a bud open yet.

Rock & Roll

The surf was so loud today, it could be heard all over the village. The waves were huge and never stopped.

Modern Masters

Some bits of paving remind me of modern art works, like this Clifford Still in black-top, stripe and tar.

Draw a House

The outline lighting on the house reminds of a child basic drawing of a house.

Draft Blocker




I have old windows on the front of my house. They do not fit very tight and I did not want storm windows on the front. This simple solution of a vinyl sheet mounted on a curtain bar has served me well the last few winters. I just pop them up for the cold seasons.

Turrtle Pond

In many spots along our shore there are ponds right on the back side of the ocean dunes. This pond is located near Fowler's Beach. The pond has large snapping turtles in the summer.

Mother Ship

Perched on a hill at the entrance to Art Village the studio and class room for Merritt Chase is an impresive structure.

English Flair

There are a string of cottage like homes in Art Village all with what I think of as a strong English influence. Here is a view of one cottage, others will follow.

Dune Crest

Headed out to the beach I found this great view looking back to the land side.

Winter Lawn

I am not sure if it is the contrasting woody trees or the light coming fron a lower angle. Winter lawns can have a very special green glow till a deep frost puts them to sleep.
