Cherry Blooms

The famous cherry trees around the tidal basin in Washington DC are double cherries with complex full blooms. This cheery tree in my garden has simple single blooms, I chose this version as it has a more vertical growth pattern and does a good job of blocking out my neighbor.

Enchanted Cottage

This fantastic home is set in the woods not far from National Golf Links. Both structures have strong ties to Old England. The curved roof detail on this home captures the magic of a thatch roof.

Green Velvet

The greens and adjoining lawns looked mystic in the light of another day of spring fog.

Civic Duty

The village of Southampton built this fine new police station. The building was designed by the architect Ric Stott . The structure has some very nice arts and craft style details reminiscent of work by turn of the century architect Grosvenor Atterbury who was also active in this area.

Isolated Weather Pattern

Sometimes the South Fork has weather all it's own. Today it was clear, sunny and mid 80s in the city. Out east the fog rolled in from the ocean and we did not get warmer than the mid 60s. This field near the ocean shows a layer of mist hovering in the air.

Nice Solution

I think some areas of older homes are mixed about how they feel about solar panels on roofs. If the street front of your homes faces south, it can be difficult to hide the panels and have them effective. This home took the smart solution of placing the panels on the pool house tucked in the back yard.

Where to Start ?

HAPPY EASTER !
