Clean Air Action

New signs help reduce smog at the beach.

Two Pinks

Coral Bark Maple and Cherry Blossoms.

San Simeon East

This fine ocean front home on Meadow Lane brings to mind the Hurst Castle on the west coast.

Summer Stock

The green houses at the Halsey Farm on Deerfield Road are looking good again. Hurry they usually sell out.

Another Good House

One more Sag Harbor home with interesting attic windows for light and ventilation.

Window Suprise

I had never noticed the fantastic fan lite in the gable of this historic home in Sag Harbor. There are more gables on the house with more of these great windows.

Big Art Sale in Springs

An art sale opened this week at Ashawa Hall. This is a mixed show with works by students and very accomplished artists, a mix of more than 1,000 paintings all priced at $ 20 each. Getting there on day two many works are sold.

Blue Racer

There are lots of new bike rack designs about. I liked this one in front of Rotations bike shop in Southampton Village on Windmill Lane.

Air Quality

There are spots in Southampton where you can sit in your car and watch the beach. These signs have popped up to reduce car exhaust.  

Modern Come Back

Very modern homes with roots in the architecture of the Bauhaus and the early 20th century is making a come-back on the Eastend. It is exciting to see these sleek new building come to life. This new home on the bay side of Meadow Lane has exceptional detailing with frame less glass corners.  

Easter Beach

The water at the ocean was very clear today. If the water was not so cold, one could see right down to your toes.

Mock-Up

Today we used a wood copy of Eddie the dog I designed first for ARF. Eddie is now proposed for the Southampton Village Dog Park. The "real" dog will be made by Liberty Iron. John from Liberty helped with placement and working out the mounts.

Building a Pool

This is a Gunite pool shell before the finish surfaces are installed.

Cold Snap

Seems late in the season for snow.

Zoooooooooooommmmm

This fields have turned vibrant with the warmer weath. I took this photo while driviiv along.

Big Yellow

Spring is moving fast with a bit of rain today.

Eve

Little Fresh, North Sea, Southampton

A rare few in the Hamptons get to enjoy fresh water ponds.

Other Hamptons

Hampton Court Palace built in England by Henry the 8th seems larger than the whole village of Southampton. What did they do in all those rooms.

Flying Bunnies

These elevated eggs are evidence that some gifted Hamptons bunnies not only hop, they also climb and fly.

Gray Box

Most modern homes I see in the Hamptons are long and sleek. I liked this home based on a cubist idea.

More Modern Magic

I get better views of some homes in the winter.

Modern Moment

Spring Snap

It seems like this field went from brown to green in just 24 hours.

Make It Fit

I can only imagine that the artist wanted the word to fit the blocks.

Wave Twist

Surf Report

With an extra sand bar the surf has three rows of breakers as it comes in at South Main Beach.

Almost Sunset

At last, it was a good day for walking on the beach.
