Nice Afternoon

After a cloudy start - it turned into a nice afternoon.  Perfect weather for a walk by the shore or a concert!

The Weekend Begins

A lovely start to the long Labor Day weekend -- hopefully the weather will hold up.

For The Birds

I love this mailbox on Westmere Avenue in Rowayton - it's completely covered in birds, beads, buttons and anything you can think of -- an incredible bird mosaic mailbox!!

Summer Days

What a spectacular day to go for a stroll around one of my favorite neighborhoods  

Bell Island!

Apples

The apples are almost ready for picking - I'd rather summer last a bit longer though.

Summer Flowers

The last day of  'Summer Vacation' -- school starts tomorrow - set the alarm.

Sunday Sunset

The end to a perfect summer Sunday.

Butterfly

A graceful butterfly enjoying the garden on a summer afternoon.

Long Island Sound

A day at the beach - Long Island Sound - it's not Nantucket Sound - but I guess it will have to do.

The Spotted Pig

One of my favorite restaurants - The Spotted Pig - at the corner of West 11th and Greenwich Street -- with all of the greenery of summer all around.

The West Village

The elegant wrought iron railings on the houses in the West Village look as if they have been suspended in time.

10th Avenue

As seen from the Highline - 10th Avenue in Manhattan - on a summer day.

Along The Highline

I love the way the bright yellow flowers contrast with the industrial grey on the building.

Cute!

The cutest dog making himself at home and taking a nap on the front lawn of The Charlotte Inn in Edgartown!

The Houses of Edgartown

The backs of the incredible ship-captain's houses that face the harbor in Edgartown -- the sweeping lawns and gardens are spectacular!

Alley's

Alley's General Store is filled to the brim with everything you would ever possibly need -- in one quick stop in West Tisbury!

The Atlantic Ocean

The wild waves of the Atlantic Ocean --- swimming in Martha's Vineyard is such a pleasure - whether in the sound, bay or ocean!

Beach Plum Restaurant

The Beach Plum Restaurant had the most wonderful food as well as the most beautiful views!

My own rock sculpture at the base of the cliffs of Aquinnah - made with the abundant rocks that are scattered all over the beach.
