White Houses of Nantucket


Although almost all of the houses on nearby Nantucket Island are covered in cedar shakes, several can be found painted partially or entirely white, and give one pause to notice their brilliant reflection of the seaside sun and how lovely the plantings look around them. I don't plan to paint anything outside at Old Farm white, but all that I can inside!



Even in the shade...


Or as Fall approaches... 





Even at this time, the sun is still strong enough to make this wedding tent barely visable. It is being set-up on Jetties Beach, which is usually a popular family beach where a sandbar can create a safe swimming spot while watching large sailboats and ferries come or go in the harbor.


White wedding tents can be found all over Nantucket now, like in this farm field...
