Light

Like a moth to flame, I am drawn. I sense it and seek it.

First light, a welcome sigh of being. Of relief. I am.

Uplifting, strengthening. Fulfilling. Healing.

It pulls me in, beckoning, luring. Promising.

It sends me off in different directions. Pausing for thought. Guiding me.

Reflecting me. A moment in time.

Even in darkness, I seek the light. I want the light.

I find no comfort in darkness.

I have no curtains in my home.

Naples by Day

Naples, Florida is a lovely, peaceful place. Well mannered, quiet, polite, and pretty. Filled with a lot of octogenarian millionaires, and wanna-be octogenarian millionaires. We didn't really plan on spending anytime here, and we just lucked into the Cove Inn, overlooking the marina.

 Waking up early and looking out at the view, while the mist slowly lifted.

That was a nice moment.

So was a leisurely after dinner stroll through the old Tin Town and the mellow sunset that marked the end of the day.

All the rest of the time in between was spent pretending to be tourists.

I think it worked too!

Ah yes, well...there's a moment during every vacation

where you just have to be silly! This was John's.

From Dawn 'til Dusk

The eastern shore of Maryland, Delaware and Virginia is an amazing place to visit...steeped in history that extends back to the edge of time as we understand it, waning and waxing in prosperity as the tides of Chesapeake Bay ebb and flow. The light at this time of year is diffused with softness, as summer draws to an end, and autumn begins to glow.

The morning sky over Rehoboth Beach draws me down to the water.




And I'm still there ten hours later, to see the sun set over Chesapeake Bay, as the beach which is softly cloaked in a pastel wash gradually turns to molten bronze.









A time and a place when it is right to use epic words like grandeur and magnificent and inspiring.
