Signing While Intoxicated

As I rounded this corner on Old Town Road I noticed many tipsy signs a clear indication of SWI.

Low Tide

Beach grass on the edge of Far Pond at the tip into Shinecock Bay.

Circa 1920

This Arts & Craft style home in Southampton Village is a perfect romantic get-a-way. In the early 1900s quiet a few home experimented with the English Cottage style we might expect to see in the Cotswold's.

Numbers

There are a lot of 11s on the calendar today. Here are my set.

Beach House

The design idea for this home was that it might float on the dune with a limited impact on the adjoining beach and dunes. New homes seem to have taken a more suburban approach to their property with hedges and lawn right up to the surf line. Not many of these nice simple homes survive in the original form.

Fall Color

This has not been a good year for fall color. Many of the trees got hit with salt spray from hurricane Irene. Including  foliage miles in from the coast. It seems to depend on the tree as to how much effect there was. The sycamores and many other trees lost all their leaves in August from the storm. This maple was not bothered and has made a great show this fall.

Born Again

Just over a year ago this home was my first posting. When I featured the house then it was in the throes of renovation. In the process of getting a new foundation the house was jacked up on blocks high above as a new foundation was built, then the house was lowered onto it's new base.
