Last week I went out to the Hamptons to visit a wonderfully generous friend who invited me to her home in Montauk for a quick getaway. My jaunt was book-ended by busy days on either side and it was a much needed respite…it is amazing how good for the soul a couple of days at the beach can be!

I hope you enjoy a little
taste of the East End of Long Island as seen through the lens of my
iphone…I tried to capture summer at it’s best!

| Nothing says summer like lobster rolls…. |
 |
| Especially with a killer view… |
 |
| Hydrangeas and other gorgeous flowers at every turn… |
 |
| The bounty at the Montauk Farmers’ Market was abundant… |
 |
| The Maidstone in East Hampton is charming… |
 |
| Who can resist a garden path that looks like this and leads the the “Home Sweet Home” Museum? |
 |
| Only to discover this view at the end of the path! |

| A quick stop at Main Beach East Hampton was in order before the rain began and it was time to head back to reality… |
It is SO important to take a break from our busy lives once in a while…a vacation is always a good idea, but don’t forget that a short trip can also be just what you need to recharge your batteries!
And to make a perfect time even better, my friend, Jeanne, from I Dream Of, painted my sunflower photo as her painting of the day! If you haven’t started following Jeanne’s instagram account, where she is featuring one of her gorgeous paintings EVERY day, go there immediately…you are in for a real treat! What a perfect ending to a fabulous couple of days!
Here’s to summer in all its glory…enjoy every minute!
OH SANDY! Here is another place on my bucket list! Just when I thought I had seen some pretty glorious places on the East Coast while living in Boston, another fab destination awaits me….those peaches…OH DEAR! And Jeanne's IG is always full of such colorful surprises. Have a super day and thank you for coming to visit my IG….I'm new and it will take me a while to get it right, but thank you so much!
Well, what a happy surprise to see my little sketch here. Thank you, Sandy! I'm so glad that you got a little time out at the beach, sounds just lovely. It was so fun taking a virtual tour with you – I've never visited the Hamptons but would sure love to one of these days. Your visit looked absolutely delightful.
Have a wonderful week! XOXO
Looks like a wonderful time! Love the little painting by Jeanne!
Sandy, it looks as if you had a wonderful and beautiful respite. I love your photos! Have a great week!
Sandy I love this feature as nothing is more beautiful to me than an ocean side view!!
What a great getaway! Also love Jeanne's art as well!!!

Your getting really good at taking photos thru your phone and we're reaping all the benefits of it too! Glad you had a great time there!
I've never been to The Hamptons but it is on my long list of places to visit. Nothing says "relaxing summer days" like views of the water, bunches of sunflowers and a lobster roll!
