snippets from my front garden

Escaping the city for a few days, 
to recover from a nasty cold that all of NYC has or had, 
and be on the south shore of LI without the crowds, 
my friend  Nina (click on her name to see her photographs) and I went to her place at the beach to paint, draw, walk and cook
Here are some results
