The sun reached perihelion last night which means it is the closest it gets to earth all year. Can’t you feel those rays up close and personal? This morning from Andrews Point the sun rose to the right of the breakwater. In a few short weeks that sunrise will move behind the breakwater as it heads north to … wait for it … SUMMER!

I love Rockport. I have a print in front of me titled, “Reflections” from the Stilson gallery that used to be there. One of my mother’s favorite places also, we sprinkled some of her ashes there. Thanks for the beautiful shot of “home”.

Sunrise
By Peter A. Todd 02/14/2010
The Sunrise reflecting on the morning tide
A flock of sparrows perched upon a wooden fence
The American eagle soaring across the sky
Man’s best friend by his owner’s side in cadence
Gloucester’s first clam digger working the flat
Our Fishing Fleet at their full labor
Lobster men making ready to set their traps
Mother Nature’s gift blossoming in full favor
Monuments and statues carved in granite or stone
Our countries flag flowing in the morning breeze
Gloucester’s MIA Flag always searching in stance
A message to beloved in our hearts their not alone
Visions are also within my heart and soul
That our children should never live in fear
These above all else is the prayer my heart unfolds
It is the vision that we see sharp and clear
