The Infinite Blues of Montauk

I love Montauk, a quintessential beach town at the end of Long Island. We're here with family for the 4th of July weekend before heading back to Ohio.

I'm giving myself over to the smell of the ocean, and the feel of salt on my sunburnt arms. Beyond contemplating the infinite amount of shades of blue between the bay, the ocean, and the sky, I'm spending my time trying to coax smiles out of the gruff waiters around town and building epic sand castles on the beach.

With the kids playing happily in the sand around me and my toes buried int the warm sand, I set my eyes on the endless blue horizon and try to imprint that moment in my memory banks to retrieve it next time stress hits.
