The Big House

This amazing sunset was just one of many that we had the chance to enjoy this summer in Martha's Vineyard. The shot through the window is one of my favorites as it was taken from inside the living room of the big house: a room where our family has so much history. A room where my great grandparents sat and watched the sea, a room in which my grandparents spent precious moments with their children, a room I was baptized in, and a room where my children were lucky enough to sit, laugh, play, and watch the sky change colors, as if someone sculpted it just for us. I have placed a copy of the picture through the window on my bedroom mirror. Now, the breathless, tiny, yet inspired feeling it gives me is there for me every morning. It is difficult to explain the spirituality one can feel from gazing off snows point. It is a magical and special place and I have been so fortunate to have spent so much time there in my lifetime. It was sad to end this era as this past summer was our last one in the family house. However, it is with the memories close to my heart that we begin new traditions in grandma's house and the same sandy beach.
