Where did That come from

I had thought it was allover for my rose. The wall it grows on looked like nothing but bare sticks. Then wow from nowhere I get a perfect pink rose bloom.

Snow Fence

Snow fence is set along the beach to help replace worn dunes. The fence catches sand blown by the wind. Over time this helps to build new dunes. Often home owners then plant the dune with beach grass to further establish the dune.

Rare Open Strech

There is a walking path to the beach that passes near the south side of Sagg Pond. This is one of the few areas of the Hamptons where there are no homes in the dune line. One can imagine that most of the beach front in the Hamptons once looked a lot like this area.

I liked how the sky reflected off this shiney new tar in the Wadbaums parking lot.
