Remembrance | Memorial Day 2014

Today, on Memorial Day, we remember those that have served our country so courageously.  Thank you to all of the veterans – past, present and future – along with their families for their service and sacrifice so that we can continue to enjoy the freedoms of the United States of America.  I’d like to especially remember my grandfather Murray J. Cohen, a truly incredible man, for creating such a beautiful family and being a quiet and enduring inspiration.

Out for a Sail

There’s nothing like being out on the water at sunset.  I have a newly found appreciation for sailing, after enjoying a gorgeous afternoon out on the water in Saint Lucia.

This shot was actually taken from the land at Great Island Common – as I looked out into the harbor and enjoyed seeing the sailboats cruise around in the late afternoon sunlight.  There’s a nice simplicity in the coastal beauty…and the opportunities to get out and enjoy the ocean/rivers/etc. is the icing on the cake.

This beautiful ship sets sail from the Arundel Wharf in downtown Kennebunkport, Maine.  The sun was finally shining as we set out to sail during yesterday afternoon, it was nice to feel the power of the wind and the warmth of the sun for a change.  Happy Friday to all – and a special congratulations to my older brother and sister in-law on their baby girl, Norah!!  Happy Birthday Norah and welcome to the world!
