Fresh from our tour of Bunny Williams&#8217;s luxurious gardens, we made our way down to neighboring West Cornwall to take in Michael Trapp&#8217;s inspired Italianate fantasia.

Located just a stone&#8217;s throw from the Housatonic River and a typical New England covered wooden bridge, the Trapp gardens exude the lazy elegance of a Tuscan villa, or an [...]]]></description>

As someone who knows absolutely nothing about gardening, and who is reluctant to rid himself of such blissful ignorance, I was less than ecstatic when my neighbor and friend Cara invited me to a garden tour in Connecticut this past weekend. It isn&#8217;t that I don&#8217;t enjoy looking at pretty flowers and perfectly manicured herbaceous [...]]]></description>

Make that &#8220;Song of the Loon.&#8221;

Thanks for checking in. I&#8217;m on hiatus for a few days while I am on a writing retreat in Maine. An old college friend has kindly offered me his cabin. I need the quiet and solitude in order to make a dent in my work. And the ocean and mountain [...]]]></description>

In case any of you were wondering why I haven&#8217;t added a new post recently, it&#8217;s because I&#8217;m on a spiritual hiatus of sorts in the wilds of Maine. I&#8217;ve rented a small cottage in Bass Harbor for the month of September while taking some time off to finish work on the writing project I [...]]]></description>

There comes a time each summer when the heat becomes so oppressive and the humidity so thick that one can barely move out of one&#8217;s chair to turn up the fan or air conditioner. At times like these there is one simple solution, a cold shower or a jump in the pool. But there was [...]]]></description>

On my way back from Natchez, I stopped over in Montgomery, Alabama. As the birthplace of Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald, it is not surprising that the city has named a street in her honor (see below) right next to one named for her illustrious husband, F. Scott Fitzgerald. The absence of last names is amusing.

Unfortunately the [...]]]></description>

Each day in this town brings more surprises. Every street corner contains an unusual structure. There are parks and gardens, curious enclaves, broken-down alleyways, antiquated saloons and even an upscale salon where I got my hair cut.  I went back to Stanton Hall (seen above) and took some more pictures. Every angle of this [...]]]></description>

After traveling from New York via stop-overs in Virginia, Georgia, and Florida, I finally rolled into my final destination, Natchez on the Mississippi River, on Friday night. From the moment I turned into St. Catherine Street, I knew I had arrived. Every corner of this small city exudes a Southern grace and charm. I&#8217;ll be [...]]]></description>

It was one of the best trips I&#8217;ve ever taken. My friend John and I hit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I had the unusual experience of spending two consecutive vacations on either side of the continent: in California and Maine. I literally dipped my toe in the Pacific and the Atlantic, making me, for a moment at least, a bi-coastal beachcomber. That&#8217;s me, below, standing on a cliff in Sonoma County, California and posing [...]]]></description>
