Summertime is here and it sure is hot. Time for a lazy break at the seaside. What could be more delightful then to sit at the beach or lounge at the pool sipping lemonade, ice tea, cold beer or a nice chilled glass of white wine. Yum. While relaxing its a great time to catch up with friends and write those inviting postcards.

Colorful Window on the French Riviera

This image was taken in the beautiful town of St. Paul de Vence on the French Riviera. The village is located on a hill with a view of the sea and the surrounding countryside. Famous for it's art galleries, art museums, artist studios and Fondation Maeght which is located nearby. St. Paul has always had a romantic appeal for artists and actors alike. The American writer James Baldwin died here in 1987.

Goodnight Moon

Every time I look at this image it reminds me of the book Goodnight Moon, by Margaret Wise Brown. One of my daughters adored this book and I can't imagine how many times I must have read it to her.

This image was taken at a party on the east end of Long Island, NY, known famously as The Hamptons. It was a party for a friend and she asked me to bring along my camera. The sunflowers that you see above had arrived in these wonderful organic pretzel boxes. They were to be the colorful center pieces for each table. I just loved the natural beauty of the flowers against the weathered bench and the early summer green lawn.

Provence

This photograph was taken in the charming hilltop town of Menerbes in the South of France in a region called the Luberon. It is the region made famous by author Peter Mayle in his books. They made a charming film called A Good Year with Russell Crow from one of his books.This particular village has been restored beautifully and besides the French you find Americans and British people living here. The colors at sunset are especially beautiful. Within sight of Ménerbes are the ruins of the Chateau de Lacoste, country residence of the notorious Marquis de Sade.

Beach Abstracts

The beach has such an allure for most people. I've heard it said that the reason for this is our ancient genetic coding. The remembrance of where we evolved from. I'm sure that's probably true. I find that gazing upon the horizon is one of the most soothing and comforting experiences there is. Generally, there is nothing there to obstruct the magnificent, wide, expansive view. Except perhaps occasionally a boat or two. This coupled with fresh, oxygenated air and carefree attire normally makes for a very relaxing experience. I'm a beach lover and find renewal there any time of day, month, year and anywhere in the world.

Beach abstract #18, the image on top, was taken on Long Island in Lattingtown during the winter. The white streaks of color are actually snow that had recently fallen. The blue abstract below it #12, was taken in West Hampton Beach, NY, midday on a beautiful, sunny, summer day. Beach Abstract #2 was shot in Maui, Hawaii at the end of the day with the most incredible orange, pink and blue. Beach Abstract #3 was photographed in St. Tropez in the South of France. I left the camera on a very long exposure at the end of the day and the results were these lovely, soft, pastel colors. The white part of the image is the surf breaking onto shore. If you'd like to see more please visit my etsy shop.

Summer in Paris

Summer vacations are around the corner and I'm dreaming about Paris. What a beautiful city. The grand boulevards, the architecture, the marvelous bridges, the wonderful eclectic mix of people, food, fashion, art and culture. Paris at night, Paris in the rain, Paris in the spring, oh heck, Paris any ole time. You can see more photos of Paris in our etsy shop.
