Winter Marina

Ft. Loudon Lake in Knoxville, Tennessee.  

I'm grateful that:

we had the chance to be out-and-about looking for photo ops while the northeast was being pummeled with snow

Unconditional Surrender

This is one of the most beautiful and meaningful sculptures I've ever seen.  This one is at the marina park in Sarasota, Florida.  I saw another in San Diego years ago.  

I actually felt weepy today thinking about how these two and all of the world felt at the end of WWII. 

My heart is grateful for: 

the freedoms we still have today, knowing how hard we'll have to fight to keep them

Sunset at the Beach

After walking through town and having a delicious ice cream, we wandered down to the beach and saw this beautiful sunset.  I've never been good at photographing sunsets, but I tried again.  

This is just an average image, but being near the ocean soothes my soul.

My heart is grateful for:

the opportunity to spend some time near the ocean with a good friend
