day onehundred eighty four 7.3.2010

my absolute time of day is the violet hour. it's not quite sunset, a bit before dusk. it's early enough in the day when you can still get stuff done if you want or need to, but late enough in the day to open a bottle of wine and talk with a good friend until dinner if that's what your feeling as well. everything is cast in a pinkish purplish light, and amagansett does this so well. this is the view of our backyard there, which borders on protected state park land, so basically it's wide open space behind the house there until you hit the ocean on the far side of the fork. lots of sand dunes, dune grass, deer feed, and low pine trees (and ticks!). you can see murphy and nate in the photo for scale purposes!
