Greetings from Duxbury, MA!

I've been a little sluggish this week in my posting. Even though I spend all my time thinking about interiors, it's good to get outside once in a while!

The top photo is our town pier, the bottom is a small town beach on our bayside. We have a barrier beach, so we have a protected bay and also an ocean side beach. As you can see - boating is very big here. You can also dig for mussels and our oyster beds are famous!

The longest bridge

Here in my hometown of Duxbury, MA, we have many historic sites - such as the John & Priscilla Alden Homestead, the Miles Standish Monument and various burial grounds. Our biggest landmark is undoubtably the Powder Point Bridge - a quarter mile long wooden bridge that connects the town to the Atlantic Ocean. Word is that this bridge is the longest of its kind in the US. I don't know if it's true, but it's certainly one of the most documented structures around. Here are some works of art inspired by the bridge.


Oil on board, John Young.
