Edgartown, Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts

So I really do think my trusty four legged, tailed, companion with the long ears and sad eyes could live happily and peacefully in the small town of Edgartown Massachusetts. I love that the majority of the traffic is by foot, bike or boat and that one has the option to eat lobster in some form whether it be lobster claw salad, lobster tail, lobster roll or lobster benedict for one or all three of ones daily meals! The population during the off season which of course is Fall and Winter is only roughly about 10,000 folks, the problem occurs however, when the season approaches and the population increases to about 100,000 that is a huge increase and for me would probably require several glasses of wine to accompany my lobster just to cope! For some also there may be a feeling of isolation during the off season, as many of the stores close, although several remain open as well as several delicious restaurants and art galleries are open for browsing and eating. For me however, it may have to top my list as favorite places to live!


Just had to post this photo of a few of my closest and dearest friends met while visiting the town of Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts. Since it is still Fall I felt it was still their season and season enough to post!

Martha's Vineyard

Although peaceful and serene throughout the Vineyard as the locals say, I found nowhere more perfect than the town of Chilmark bordering the small fishing village of Menemsha and Aquinnah.

Chilmark has the highest average property value of any city or town in Massachusetts.

Many of the homes are considered by their owners to be beach cottages and many actually are quite modest. What is spectacular however is the land that surrounds these summer homes.

My friend and I met a wonderful man who invited us to his home on the corner of Squibnocket Road and Storks Nest Lane. We left The Harborview Hotel, our picturesque and luxurious home away from home in Edgartwon and set out on a bus trip to the town of Chilmark where we would find Squibnocket Beach and Squibnocket Pond which were the focal point of our destination.

I spent a lot of time with the camera that day adjusting exposures and shutter speeds and enjoyed every moment of it. I've posted my favorite photos of that day starting with our friend's home .......
