Southampton Broadwalk

We have a boardwalk in Southampton. It is a very nice route to a wide quite beach,worth the walk I think.



What are you Wearing Tonight?

Looks like the eyes have it !

Iron Man

The first time I saw this guy he was looking down at me from high on a roof top at Madison Square Park in NYC. It was fun to see this guy up close at ART SOUTHAMPTON.

Party Time

This rig is set up to party !

ART Southampton is Open This Weekend

This art show is huge. The photo taken looking north from the cental lounge. The view shows about a quarter on the tent. The following are closer details of areas that I liked.

Wild Rose

I like how this rose has climbed up the fence and into the privet hedge.

What a nice treat for people parking at Cryder Beach.

Yesterday & Today

Today was cloudy but yesterday was a great beach day.

Like New

There is a new dune for The Dune Church, Sandy washed away the old dunes. Located on Gin Lane at the base of Lake Agawam the church was reputed to have washed onto Jobs Lane in the huricane of'38.

Goverment Center

Village Hall East Hampton, what a nice historic home with a nice quiet garden.

Golfy Marsh

The course at the Maidstone Club in East Hampton crosses over this marsh on a long low wood bridge.

Work of Nature

Our summer farm market features the wares of our local bee keeper EAST END APIARIES.

I like how the hexagonal honey jars can form up to make a honeycomb.

North Coast

Along the north edge of the south fork one can find a mix of;

sandy bay beaches, bluffs, harbors, ponds and coves.

This marsh is part of Cold Spring Pond in the Shinnecock area.

Summer Fun

Every once in a while I catch a great wave.

Sun Control

These classic awnings do a great job of keeping the afternoon's hot sun out of the house.

Flowers Gone Wild

It first pass this might look like a wild flower meadow. Actually it is a wildly extravagant planting of hardy perennials. For the first year the appearance was a little spotty, now it is really filling in to form a fine garden.

Marine Lands

The ocean was very smooth and clear today.When this wave rolled in there was a moment when one could look through the face of the wave right into the sea.

Compliments

When colors fall on opposite sides of the color wheel they are called complimentary colors.

I think these blue and orange blooms are good examples.

I enjoy reactive color combinations in my garden.

Southampton Center for the Arts at 25 Jobs Lane

Along with all the other art events this weekend the Southampton Center had their opening night. The evening was well attended and featured photographs by Diane Tuft, a light work by Bentley Meeker and a film work by David Michalek. 

art MRKT Hamptons

Saturday evening I stoped into the other Bridgehampton art event art MRKT Hamptons. This event is located on the main road at the property of the Bridgaehampton Historical Society. Like the other art events this one is set in a delux airconditioned tent. Here are a few photos from the evening.

Art Hampton

This evening we went to see the Art Hampton show on Millstone Road in Bridgehampton. Here are a few shots showing off the interior of this very nice carpeted and airconditioned tent. The selecton of artwork was very nice and allfor sale!



Art Week Line Up

This weekend we have: The start up of the Southampton Arts Center, The grand dinner dance at the new Parrish, ArtHamptons on the polo grounds, artMRKT Hamptons on the property on the Bridgehampton Historical Society and the opening on the new Keszler in Southampton Village.

Crazy Out East

It always surprises me to see cactus on the eastend growing in a sand dune and blooming!

Weather Report

Fresh Face

The Polish Catholic Church on Maple Street near the train station recently got a makeover.

I think they did a great job of keeping the charm of an older building and making it all look very fresh. The shingle siding and details are a nice reference to many fine homes in the area.  

Garden Styles

When I first came to the Hamptons in the 80's a typical garden had blue hydrangea around the base of the house and pots with red geraniums about the pool. Today smart gardens are much more complex. The stylish gardener at this home has fit a full English border into her front pots.  

Parade Details

This dark 38 Chevy looks to be inspired by Darth Vader with its extra dark finish.

Rose Work

The arch at the entry to The Southampton Rose Society Garden on the grounds of the Rogers Memorial Library is stupendous.

Parade Time

Each year I decorate a float to represent the Southampton Rose Society. This year we had a vintage VW Bus to work with. The banner read 'Flower Power'

Polo Wars

I canoften be seen in a blue cotton polo.The year Joe Fresh on Jobs Lane is selling a nice one for $12.

This is a shocking price in the Southampton polo market.

Objects of Desire

This collection of sculptures appeared in a side yard off North Sea Road . The sculptures look very interesting to me and I will be watching to see what develops. I also enjoyed seeing the dumpster in with the lot of them.

Snatched in the Night

This morning my breakfast was missing. At first I thought I was confused about where I left my bread and cheese. I then spotted the new rip in the screen. I think a local raccoon beat me to it.
