Privet on Shelter Island

People on Shelter Island have made use of privet hedges into an art. Privet grows extremely well here in the ocean-moderated climate. It can be tall and thick for privacy without a fence. It can be shaped, as this entrance from the street is, to reveal a sweet view.

Tree Peony

Our flowering tree peony, as promised in mid winter in a post showing a seed pod.
For as long as this shrub blooms it is my favorite. 
The heat wave caused the bloom to crash fairly quickly. 
Joy is ephemeral, isn't it!
