Island Beauty

When summer rolls around my thoughts inevitably wander back to Nantucket. It's a special place for me filled with wonderful memories.  Gray shingle cottages, window boxes overflowing with flowers, cobblestone streets-it is quintessential New England Americana. So in anticipation of July 4th, here are some photos. Enjoy..

 Most all of the houses in Nantucket have gray shingles. So when giving directions to newcomers, the humorous response is, "take a left at the house with the gray shingles".

The area called "Sconset", that lies along the Atlantic side of the island, is known for its rose covered cottages. Does it get any better than this?
