It was nearing the end of my holiday. A gorgeous Indian Summer Sunday. I had finished most of my visiting with family and friends. I just wanted to be ALONE for a few hours,sit and read my book at the beach. I remembered my dear friend had a shack nestled in the dunes that I was always welcome to use so I called him and asked him if I could just hang out there for a bit. It was heavenly. The shack,as you can see under repair from a tough year of winter storms. Pathway through the dune to the beach

How can there be nobody in such a lovely place? Surely a road goes there.

It looks so peaceful there, casimira. I know what you mean. I'm very much a 'people person', but once in a while I just like to be completely alone.

How can there be nobody in such a lovely place? Surely a road goes there. There is a road, a dirt road traversed mainly by farm machinery which runs parallel to the beach. Big ruts in it and puddles after the rain...

So beautiful ... and that sky!
Are those rugosa roses in the hedges?

Looks like the right beach for a campfire and a clam bake!
The sky is so blue and not a cloud in sight. I'd just need a couple of good books and a full fridge.

Yes Bixa,those are rugosas,both the pink and lovely white 'alba' . While Mr. C., our beloved dog PoBoy and I were evacuated for 5 weeks during the Katrina diaspora we spent a great deal of time hanging out here. Many a bbq and clambake,fireworks on a couple of occasions and naturally great swimming and body surfing. It was our saving grace.

I call that sky "Last Chance Blue." Oh for a shack in the dunes.

Great pics. I've noticed in your pictures of your homeplace (can it be named here?), & in commercial images of it, that there is a certain very specific light over the place. You have really captured that in a couple of these photos.
And the last picture fooled me for a moment. I thought you'd figured out some way to embed a video, as the waves really look as though they're in motion!

Actually,the place where this shack is,is in a tiny hamlet just a jaunt away from Bridgehampton,called Sagaponack,(many Native American named villages all over Long Island) it's where our family farm was. And yes,there is something about the light there. I will have to try and dig out a beautifully written passage that my friend Robert Dash( from the Madoo garden) wrote about it. As he is also a painter,he describes the particular light,and how it attracted so many other brilliant painters,one in particular,William Merit Chase,a turn of the century American impressionist,also,Childe Hasaam and others. I'm so glad that you picked up on this in the photos,it's not easy to catch.
