On a trip to Williamstown MA to visit the Clark Museum I passed through very beautiful countryside. Can't believe I was able to capture these two love birds on the fence. If I had the time I would love to hang out in a place like that; what an awesome view of valley and Mountain.

Great Barrington, Ma. Real Estate / Living A Country Life Restaurants have always been a big part of my lifestyle....Here in Great Barrington, Ma. we lost 2 good ones over the last few weeks...One was very sad and untimely, the chef/owner was killed in an automobile accident Our community has grieved the loss of the young and promising chef /owner Jonathan of Pearls restaurant in Great Barrington, Ma. . The other was Helsinki, although in that case there was talk for a couple years that Club Helsinki was expanding and opening another branch in Hudson. NY. although the original would remain in Great Barrington, Ma. Over the last couple months the word spread that Helsinki in Great Barrington, Ma. would be closing, and would soon be re-opening in Hudson. NY. It was such a well loved place that the tributes are still being blogged. These 2 restauants were no more then a block away, but were miles a part...Pearls, city slick chrome, leather, glass and rosewood interior, a well dressed, casual and coifed clientele, steaks and chops were their specialty. Helsinki was bohemian and exotic in its artsy thrown together decor, and patrons. 1 part restaurant/tea room with a finish spin, (think gravlax, borscht) 2nd part music/dance club bringing some of the best country and rock musicians to Great Barrington, Ma.

The one thing both these extablishments had in common though was delicious food. The food and ambience were so different that they served our community well by offering us different types of experiences.

I had great times at both Pearls and Helsinki, I will truly miss them...Although being true to form i can't stop thinking about what restaurants are going to open next in Great Barrington, Ma. Today i was walking around Railroad St, and noticed that the old Helsinki is being renovated. More to follow...

Berkshire,Ma. to Kennebunkport, Me. What a weekend..I love living in the Berkshires the mountains, the country roads, the exquisite scenery, but i also love the sea...so when i travel i love to visit the water...this weekend we left the Berkshires and drove east to Kennebunkport, Me. I am posting a photo i took of the Bush family summer compound.

We stayed at a terrific Bed & Breakfast, Bufflehead Cove Inn, on the Kennebunkport River...A very private and romantic spot, with excellent service and a full breakfast, our balcony overlooked the river, we sat out and took in the wonderful view. If you want you can see more photos on my facebook page.

Saturday was wet, so we decided to do a shoreline drive south to Portsmouth, NH..visited the John Paul Jones House, would of done more historic homes but we were getting drenched and decided to head back dry off, relax and head out for dinner. We had a great dinner at 77 Ramp on cape porpoise..

Sunday was beautiful...shoreline walks along the rocky coast, photos along the way, trolley tour to historic sites, shopping on the wharf, lunch was fried clams at the Clam Shack, they have the reputation as having the best fried clams in all of maine...we were happy with the chowder, fried clams, jumbo shrimp. We sat on one of the benches that overlooked the wharf...

The trip back to the Berkshires was a breeze, arrived home and started to edit my photos of our Berkshire, Ma. to Kennebunkport, Me weekend...

Today is Monday, I am off to work with new clients...Catch you later
