Day 279 "From Wessagusset" pen&ink 9 x 12

Today, my daughter and I meandered our way north along the coast on an errand.  We found ourselves above North Weymouth's Wessagusset Beach, looking out over the Fore River Bridge.  Such a beautiful spot, on a beautiful summer afternoon.  I had never been here before.  After we left, we learned on the news that a police officer and a woman from Weymouth had both lost their lives this morning in a shooting, and that "Wessagusset" was the original name for the Weymouth Colony, as depicted on the Weymouth police badge.  We have prayed for these two families today in the face of their tremendous losses.  
This is my two hundred seventy-ninth daily drawing.
