HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023

~ First Sunrise ~

Cape May, NJ

All photos unedited in any way.

Today's photos were taken at America's first beach resort, the historic whaling town of Cape May. After three days of rain, fog and gloom, the sun came in on the horizon over the fog gloriously.

This is our 19th annual sunrise greeting and the first time alone since I am officially an empty nester. Faith (Parker) is now at college but assures me we will be together next year for a very special sunrise. Am excited already.

If you're looking for a few words of wisdom from a freshman; "The biggest thing I learned is that I need to smile...the world really has a lot to offer." And "taking a break is a gift to yourself before beginning something better."

The place is called "Poverty Beach" (despite the nearby prosperity) and in front of the Coast Guard's Live Firing Range (see the white sign and yes, we were asked to not proceed further). Trust you will draw your own inferences as to the name.

We hope you will take a break, ignore the fog and shake off the dismal news of last year (if you had some) and smile more. The world is a good place. We plan to get out more, see more and do more. Not always together in reality, but definitely in spirit.

Cheers and good wishes to everyone!!!
