Imagine a place so beautiful that you would travel hundreds of miles just to see it. Just to circle through the area in hopes of not missing a single beautiful angle. Just to let the scenes wash over you. A place to stop and have a long look, just to "drink it all in". First, let's start with a few simple pictures from my phone. These were taken in New Brunswick, Canada. Continue Reading...

Mother’s Day 2017
Happy Mother's Day!!! I have said it many, many times; a Mother's role or job, is the most important job on the planet. I am fortunate to have been blessed so abundantly. God saw fit for me to be born in Caribou, Maine to the most amazing Mother in the world. Only God could have known that I could not have hand-picked a better person to be my guiding light for the last half Continue Reading...
Wet Snow
As I made my way around town this morning, I marveled with the kids at the spectacle of the winter wonderland we passed through. The limbs all around us, bending low, to display their burden in beautiful form. Trees bowed to the Creator, silent and still, in reverence to the One that giveth and taketh away. The fresh coat of white, wet snow, with barely a hint of breeze, made for a postcard Continue Reading...
Night Lights in NH
I am a family man living in southern New Hampshire, USA. I live where I live, and in the middle of the night, without venturing from home, I see what I see. I gaze at the night sky from just north of the 43rd parallel. But on night's like last night, the forecast was special. Rated a 6 out of 10, or a 'high'. And the map showed that I would be well above the viewing line of the north horizon. Continue Reading...

Blessed Mornings
So, time and time again I stop and consider just how fortunate I am. I mean life is hectic. Something always gets in the way of something else. Demands on my time seem to have no end. Others come first, and there just seems to be so many 'others'. Days run right into weeks and the top of to-do lists turn upside down, and even start over again. Sometimes I think this pace approaches madness. Early Continue Reading...
It’s Memorial Day – Remember Them All
Memorial Day - Remember Them All. Lest we forget. Please remember what Memorial Day is about. This weekend is the unofficial American kick-off to summer. We celebrate freedom with picnics, parades, and backyard barbecues. With the weather we are getting here in the Northeast, it feels like summer already. It’s Memorial Day Weekend. So, without further adieu, I will get to the point. As Continue Reading...
Thanks for this place
The wind whips the snow against the windows I hide behind Now snow drained clouds drift overhead, flat light I find Then I notice in the distance, blue sky encroaches this scene With it, the cold icy winds bring air so crisp and clean I watch the mercury in red, drop beneath this crystal sky To the Lord I give thanks for this place, warm and dry Continue Reading...
Remembering Pearl Harbor
There are a lot of people, memories, and events that I focus on in December. One I try never to forget is remembering Pearl Harbor. It was before my time but it did in fact shape a period of time and altered the course of history. I am remembering, and I'm very thankful to be an American afforded with the opportunities I have, because people before me wouldn't let freedom be snatched from them. Continue Reading...
