Today… my thoughts are with Japan.

I have to be perfectly honest… I have photos from today’s St. Pat’s Day plunge at Peggotty Beach –  and photos of snow drops and a shy yellow crocus poking their optimistic way into the cold March sunlight – and photos of small, joyful, mundane details of every day life in Scituate – but today, my thoughts are with Japan.

And so, in lieu of a photo of Scituate today, I am sharing links to four City Daily Photo community members in Japan:

The stories, video and images that are coming to us via the media are stunning. They talk of the dead and the missing, the damage and the dollars, all staggering numbers difficult to comprehend – but I think it is important to remember that these are individual people, this place is their home and their daily lives have been completely upended.

There but for the grace….

My thoughts are with Japan.

  1. well said Ali, I read about a coastal town there of 17,000 (just like Scituate) that has 10,000 missing

    hits us too close to home

  2. very thoughtful post, I also posted on my facebook page that my thoughts and prayers are with the anguished in Japan.

  3. It just felt very wrong to post a carefree image today, and wrong to not acknowledge what is happening in Japan right now.
