This is a wonderful time of year with all of our garden in full bloom. This is a watercolor of Cone Flowers in our front yard that are mixed in with Black Eyed Susans. Holbein watercolors in a Stillman and Birn sketchbook.

Black Eyed Susan’s
More flowers from out front yard. We have a mass of Black Eyed Susan’s along our entry walk. They are beautiful flowers and they last for a long time. They look great as a large group. Holbein watercolors in a Stillman and Birn Beta sketchbook.
Raspberries
A quick sketch of wild raspberries growing in our yard on the edge of the woods and lawn. We have actually never tried them in that the animals usually get there first. Pilot Falcon fountain pen with Noodler’s Bulletproof black ink and Holbein watercolors in a Stillman and Birn Beta sketchbook.
Sixth Precinct
This was a great little structure located in the parking lot of the Americana Manhasset Mall in Manhasset, New York. I assume it was for the local police department that patrols the mall.

Manhasset Congregation Church
The Congregational Church of Manhasset, has a history that dates back to its organization in the fall of 1939. Groundbreaking ceremonies for this structure were held in May, 1948, and the cornerstone was laid on October 24. Dedication of the building followed on June 12 of 1949. I was drawn to this building by the interesting and modern Bell Tower. I sketched this from the coolness of my car in between meetings on a very hot day.

Garden Tomatoes
Our tomatoes are looking good in our garden. This variety comes in clusters of 5 and are about 1 1/2″ and very tasty. Pilot Falcon fountain pen with Noodler’s Bulletproof black ink and Holbein watercolors in a Stillman and Birn sketchbook.
Fort Hill
One of the best views on the outer cap is at Fort Hill which is part of The National Seashore which is part of the United States National Park system. Fort Hill is adjacent to the Penniman House, a historical whalers house built in 1868. The view is beautiful of the marshes, barrier islands and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. In the springtime, the fields are bursting with color from the great variety of wild flowers. Today there were pink Sea Roses and white Yarrow. The green of the marsh is really this vibrant with the darker blue water. Holbein watercolors in a Stillman and Birn Beta sketchbook.
