       Let me take you back to

this past summer - mid August.

I was heading back to the studio

after having just delivered a number of

new pieces to the Cate Charles Gallery

when I decided to a pay visit to a

favourite Binocular location of mine.

Avery Point, Groton CT.

Avery Point always has something good to offer.

Unbeknownst to me

 awaited a rather sweet surprise.

There 

just off shore, 

anchored

on the New London side

was the 'Eagle'

the US Coast Guard Cutter.

Detail: Binoculars #163 - View from Avery Point.

Seeing her impressive silhouette
anchored there in the
bright sparkling water

being greeted with a fervour of
on-lookers, hellos, cheers,
and welcoming's home

filled my Spirit up with much
delight, excitement 

and inspiration.

Apparently, she had just returned 

from a 3 month European voyage.

Gallery Location to be Announced!
