The purpose of this page is to challenge me to open my eyes and truly see the world which surrounds me. So often we trudge though our daily routine, too busy or preoccupied to notice the little miracles happening all around us. I hope to capture, through the lens of a camera, glimpses of my sometimes mundane but glorious little world. I will attempt to post one snapshot each day to share with you. Enjoy!

January 20, 2012




We had the honor of attending the Change of Command for the Commander United States Pacific Fleet this morning.  The U.S. Pacific Fleet is the world's largest fleet command, encompassing 100 million square miles from the West Coast of the U.S. into the Indian Ocean.  The Pacific Fleet consists of approximately 180 ships, nearly 2,000 aircraft and more than 125,000 Sailors, Marines and Civilians.
Mr. Jim Nabors performed our National Anthem and these sharp looking 1/12 Marines carried out the 17 canon shots over the bow for the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Jonathan Greenert.
Please take a moment of reflection for our Red Lion Marines and their loved ones.  They willingly gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country.  May you find peace.
Honolulu, Hawaii
