New beginnings

January 17, 2015 by Mike Powell

A few hours after my return from Brussels yesterday, I got in my car and drove for a bit over three hours to Norfolk, Virginia for a wedding. Even though I was up until almost 3:00 in the morning chatting with the groom (my stepson) and his best man, I woke up a few hours later and decided to walk along the waterfront.

The sun rose with some beautiful colors, a kind of a symbol of the new life just beginning for the happy couple. In a few more hours the ceremony will take place and we will all be celebrating their love for one another.

I couldn’t be happier.

  Thanks so much. It’s always a challenge to try to capture the special moments when the sun is rising or setting.

  Thanks so much. The wedding and reception went wonderfully (and the fact that the happy couple bought a house almost across the street from me means that I will get to see them often).
