To me, there is something so healing and therapeutic about the ocean; I couldn’t imagine living anywhere that wasn’t within miles of it. Each time I visit, it reminds me how small I truly am in this vast world, and the sounds, smells and salty air somehow slow me down and cause me instant serenity. Here are some photos from the perfect New England mid- August beach day in Marblehead.

Unbelievable whale shaped cloud

Beautiful horizon

Fluffy clouds floating by

Sailing away
