Valcour Island, NY

Regular readers know well that Valcour Island is our favorite place on this planet. Each year, the high point of our existence is when we return to Valcour. Today we get to walk the trails and explore the shorelines once again. Then rain will move in. We don't care. Even wet, Valcour holds great charms.
What contrast. As we bask in the pleasure of peace on Valcour, news from the outside world is all bad. Markets are going to hell destroying our savings. Senseless riots are spreading signifying what? If I weren't such a news junkie, I'd turn off the radios.
Meanwhile, I got up at 0530 this morning to watch the sunrise. It was delightfully pink. I know of no place other than Sloop Cove on Valcour Island where one gets such wonderful views of sunrises. The sun comes up from the White Mountains in New Hampshire. It's just beautiful. Why is it that the world affords us so many more views of sunsets than sunrises?
