Follow me on Instagram @caramia447 where I post quirky one-off images of, among other things, tiny houses, retro storefronts, street art and the occasional sunset I’M BACK IN EAST HAMPTON for my ninth season and I don’t even care that … Continue reading

Annuals to the Rescue
FOR SOME CRAZY REASON, this Roy Lichtenstein parody (once a popular T- shirt), right, popped into my head the other evening when I saw the vivid bed of annuals at LongHouse Reserve, Jack Lenor Larsen’s extraordinary East Hampton sculpture garden. … Continue reading

Raking Leaves is a A Fool’s Errand

(That’s Larsen’s Shinto temple-inspired house, above). I visited LongHouse for the first time last … Continue reading
A Garden Bed, Literally
HOW CLEVER IS THIS? Surely it gives new meaning to the term “flower bed.” The creation of Geoffrey Nimmer and Jack de Lashmet of East End Garden Design, it was an entry in last month’s container-planting invitational competition at LongHouse … Continue reading
A Bridge Not Far Enough
IT’S PROBABLY BECAUSE I WAS SO THOROUGHLY WOWED by a recent visit to LongHouse Reserve, a 16-acre masterpiece of landscape design, that Bridge Gardens in Bridgehampton, N.Y., a 22-year-old, five-acre garden designed by Jim Kilpatric and Harry Neyens and recently … Continue reading
Art + Nature = LongHouse Bliss
