Eagle’s Wings

“It’s in moments like these

that you forget how soothing

the sea can be,

and you remember

its power and force.”

— Michelle Segrest

sails catching the wind

bow setting course through life’s seas

powerful beauty

  3. Mary, your post brings many smiles. Growing up in landlocked Montana, I never experienced sailing ships in person. My wife, who grew up on Maryland’s Eastern Shore has introduced them to me. The Coast Guard vessel is a grand ship.

    1. So glad you liked this one! The Eagle is a beautiful ship and the sight of it on the water with full sails can’t help but make you smile! Glad that your wife introduced you to such beauties!

      Best regards, Mary
