Peconic River Herb Farm

While driving on the Eastern end of
Long Island, we stopped at the herb
farm which is 14 acres of a photographer's
or painter's "paradise" full of colorful
flowers and old cottages like you see
here.

  14. Mom...I am biased that all of your work is wonderful but I REALLY love the way the door came out. The reflection in the window gives it a sense of wonder and mystery since I am finding myself trying to see what's in the reflection! Love you and your art.
