My good friend Jess just sent me my first birthday present of the year. On September 16, 2004, I sent her a few pictures of lighthouses from around Maine for a project. One of the ones I sent was the photo of Portland Head Light to the right. Little did I know that two and a half years later, she’d return the picture to me – as a painting.
That… that just made me feel… special. I’m staring at a rendering of a photo I took created by one of my best friends. I can’t help but smile.
The title of this post (and the painting) is in reference to the wonderful song on Nickel Creek‘s self-titled CD.
