Real Red

It is the Sugar Maple that turns this bright red color. We do not have many Maple trees in the Hamptons and few of those are the Sugar Maple. More typical in New England this run of trees on Deerfield Road is a fun treat to see.

Modern Movement in 2012

Great Hill Road just north of Southampton Village has become a hot bed of new modernist homes. The area has some nice large wooded plots with distant water views. Exciting new homes have sprung up to take advantage.

Fall Explosion

Most plants explode into bloom in the Spring. Milkweed explodes in the fall to sending their seed sailing for the next year.

Up and Up

I think the Ponquogue Bridge over Shinnecock Bay in Hampton Bays might be the tallest manmade structure in the Hamptons. The view from the top is excelent but often windy.

Cottage Garden

A cottage garden like this is relatively new to the hamptons. maybe because stones like this are not local to this area. Most of these rocks come from old stone walls in Pennsylvania. They show up with nice moss and lichen all set to be set like they have always been here. Our local rocks tend to be very rounded after a tumble in the ocean or a glacier and need mortar to stay put in a wall.

Splash of Color

I liked this Morning Glory with just a streak of blue like it was just brushed into the bloom.
