Back in action!

Hello viewers!
Sorry for my disappointing lack of blogging within the past few months. I had some computer difficulties, thus causing problems with all my photos and impacting my ability to add them to the blog! However, I am working through things and hopefully on my way back to complete restoration! So, welcome back!

A glimpse of inspiration

The glitter of hope

Lies deep within my being

As I seek to pass on

The ambition,

The eagerness,

The caution and the risks.

The understanding,

The aptitude

The confidence and the character –

To those living amongst us.

One has the ability

To succeed.

To discover her strengths,

Her pride,

And her passions.

The ability to make gains

To grow,

To prosper,

And to teach.

We teach others

Subconsciously.

Sharing our knowledge

And learning from our mistakes.

The ability to empower is invaluable.

Embrace it. 

"Bright future" - our work is to make this logo their reality.

 

Wandering Through History

Waking up at 3:15 in the morning is not a great feeling. Nevertheless, with my drive to return to the beach and capture the sunrise once again, I got myself up and headed out for the journey. This outing had almost been canceled due to impending rain but, since at 3:15 in the morning it wasn't raining, the trip was on.
Driving to Crane's Beach always brings out the ounce of historian I have in me. The Salem Witch Trials have always caught my interest, so as we make our way to Ipswitch driving through the back roads I find myself envisioning life during this time period that seems to distant from our lives today. I look at the houses and the roads and wonder to myself what life was like then and how things have changed. I try to picture the people go through their daily rituals and I ponder whether the Town Hall still looks the same.
I have never, in all of my early morning drives through this stalemate of time, thought to connect Crane's Beach to the people. I wonder if they, too, woke up early to enjoy the beauty of the rising sun. I think of the fisherman floating around in the calm waters on their boats awaiting the bite of a Striped Bass. I see the children running merrily through the cool Atlantic waters as their mothers caution them to not wade too deep. This morning was a morning of reflection for me, as I captured the historical, misty beauty of Crane's Beach.
Although this would be a day for photography that I'd consider to be far from ideal, I was still able to find beauty in the imperfect scene.

Rescuing Beauty

A Stroll Through Boston

A walk of reflection

My Calm

I find calm within the massive waters.

As I stare out int the varying hues of green and blue

Whether choppy or still,

I breathe deeply. 

I close my eyes

As I listen to the sounds 

Engulfing me. 

My mind wanders

To lands far away.

I think of my hopes, my dreams

Yet also my sorrows or my insecurities.

I think of the people who are on the other side

Literally yet also metaphorically.

The waves rise and fall

As the fish swim clandestinely beneath.

The light moves in flashes

Along with the motions of the water.

I just sit and stare.

The water is my calm.
