America’s Favorite Photos
Rekindling America’s Appreciation of Photography

Toward Day’s End

From my quiet residential dock in Barrington, Rhode Island, the path stretches out over calm waters as the sun sinks low. The light softens, the ripples settle, and each step forward feels like an invitation to pause. It is a moment of stillness at the close of a day. Peaceful, unhurried, and complete.

I enjoy life by the water, staying active outdoors, and finding inspiration in everyday moments. Photography is one of many ways I stay connected to the world with curiosity and gratitude.
