Fun Christmas Stroll weekend here on Nantucket.

Experimenting with the Pixel Bender plug-in. Trying to decide if there is artistic merit here, or if it is just another Photoshop parlor trick. Might have to see one of these printed on canvas or watercolor paper to decide.

So pleased to be the guests of Laura Simon and Jim Gross, at their garden/orchard for Cider Day. Nothing beats the taste of apple cider, right out of the press!

Nantucket alphabet blocks now available as a set downtown at Nantucket Looms. Each one is handmade (and I still have some glue on my hands to prove it), carefully assembled using acid-free, archival, UV-protective, antibiotic and growth hormone free products.

$199 for the set.

Amazing show in the skies the last three nights for Swift-Tuttle’s magnificent tail: the Perseid meteor shower. With skies so clear, the brightest Milky Way I have ever seen, about 12-18 meteors/hour, and winds quiet enough to make the whole show reflect perfectly in the surface of the normally choppy Sesachacha Pond…I am happy to be exhausted from the missed hours of sleep.
