The day was grey and mild, with heavy downpours most of the afternoon.
But as evening approached the sky suddenly caught fire.

After a long, LONG trek down I-95 we finally made it “home for the holidays.”
And met Jonesy for the very first time. (He turned 1 at the beginning of the month.)
We feel very welcome.

“Water is fluid, soft and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.”

The harbor. The land. The Lady of Liberty at the door. And a roiling, turbulent sky over all of it.

Lines from THE SUMMER DAY by Mary Oliver
Who made the world?
Who made the swan, and the black bear?
Who made the grasshopper?
This grasshopper, I mean-
…
Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?

Ring around the Montauk moon
Some sky and some blue for Bluesky.
I shot this at a winery in western North Carolina after my sister’s wedding, featuring my Mom, my brother (on ukulele), and my other sister starting up at the stars while the moon rises. It was a magical evening.
