This one is going to make another appearance in another form on Good Friday. For now it's a reasonably accurate rendition of evening clouds above the Matanzas River.
Stratoz, I never did much with flickr because they wanted $$ after the first few pix and I have many, many. . . . I suppose I should look into it again.
What a beautiful picture. I'm so sorry to learn of the loss of your friend as I catch up on my friend's lives here. Prayers for all of you who were family to him.
Gannets are enormous and sleek creamy-white seabirds, with black wingtips, yellow heads and necks, and startlingly outlined eyes. They nest on the rocky cliffs of the European and North American coasts of the North Atlantic and, once grown, spend their days sailing across the ocean. The acrobatics by which they make their living ~ steep climbs into the air and speedy plunges straight into the sea ~ are rivaled only by those of pelicans.
What better metaphor for a sweeping search of one's life choices and opportunities than a gannet extended above the waves, a regal and yet restless surveyor of the vast ocean surface? The gannet reminds us that life is an adventure in both beauty and profound unease, and that the sea itself is limitless in its textures and possibilities.

And given your recent experiences, seeing the light yet there is good. I encourage you to visit Prepare Ye and read his recent sermon post.
BTW, prayers for you, and thanks for wishing me well. The antibiotics kicked in just in time for me to preach yesterday.
do you have a flickr account???
That is a perfect picture for Friday!
