This was one of those evenings – beautiful, wistful, reflective in all of its senses, reminiscent of so many of these transitional summer weekends gone by.

Glorious day for a visit with friends @gary_mcbour Glorious day for a visit with friends @gary_mcbournie_inc and @w_j_richards at their beautiful new Nantucket home!!
