HAPPY NEW YEAR ~ 2026 Sunrise Photos

Dear Friends, 

Inserted here are photos unretouched in any way of today's first sunrise over the Atlantic (except the text on the first photo).

I was unlucky that Parker could not be with me. It was his second time in 22 annual new year sunrise sessions to miss. He is in Japan to see family. It was very unlucky too that in scouting locations, I found the pier door would be locked. This year the sunrise was to align perfectly with the jetty that extends far beyond the pier as if going to the sunrise. And it did.

I spoke to four park rangers to encourage earlier opening. Seems others must have too. The gate was open.  🍀🍀🍀

As for being a lucky year, that is our wish for everyone. Of course some believe more luck just means being more prepared. So whether you are lucky in love, family, career, health, interests, place or time, our hats off to you to be open to more good luck this year and whatever you do to make luck happen including showing up with open arms. 

Parker, when asked for a quote today, shared his new goal of keeping life simple. 

Hope these sentiments encourage everyone to be healthy and happy everyday, and have a very lucky year indeed.

Cheers!

CJ
