Welcome. Edgartown News was born from the simple fact that I have ink and Dektol in my veins and I need to write and photograph more than I need air or food, and from my love for this little town where I grew up and raised my family, the town I have left a few times but can't quite shake for good. Here you will find the wanderings and musings, photographs and commentary; the people, places, and happenings - past and present - of a small island town: my home town.

Whiling Away the Hours

Sometimes, walking while talking on the phone makes my brain function a little better and the conversation flow a little smoother, and before I know it, I've walked a couple of miles. And, with my hands-free gear, I can also grab a few photos along the way. Nothing terribly new here - same path, different day, different light.

The Vincent House, widely acknowledged to be the oldest house on Martha's Vineyard. The town clock tower a-top the Beautiful Old Church of Whaling Days is to its rear, over on Main Street. These fruit trees will be popping into bloom imminently.

The scallopers are also packed up for the season.

I did discover one new thing - the recently revamped Edgartown Yacht Club now includes a public observation deck, part of Edgartown's ongoing plan to ensure that our harbor and its views are open to all.
