Sunset moment

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, United States) on 25 July 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Not a masterpiece; just a quiet sunset moment on the beach enjoyed by a happy couple I happened upon recently.

I think life is meant to be filled with far more quiet, happy moments than most of us allow ourselves to enjoy.

Please pray for Bella.

Bella Update: 07/23/08. Wednesday. Another good Bella morning, she is in good spirits, even with they mysterious disappearance of our normally numerous and active neighborhood squirrel population. Maybe "Sheriff Bella" has cleaned out Dodge and sent all those tree-climbing hoodlums packing. Heh.

Bella and I appreciate each of you for caring and praying. Please understand this miracle being prayed for, because although it is day by day, it also may take a bit of time for completion: Bella's battle for life, wellness, and a healed heart isn't a sprint but a long-distance run.

What we have right now are daily blessings: I am prayerfully thankful that her good days may be God's bit by bit miracle that is slowly unfolding.

Ken McCoy from Orlando-Daytona Beach, FL, United States

A beautiful moment! (I do yearn for a bit more of the sky).

25 Jul 2007 2:39pm

@Ken McCoy: Yearn away, Ken. Heh. Thanks for your comments. My thing was the couple, the sand and water, and the sun going down. It actually was a cloudless sky.

Erik from Hamar, Norway

I can't imagine sitting there with someone you truly love! It must be sooooo romantic :) You have captured the moment very well, but as Ken McCoy says: "I do yearn for a bit more of the sky"

25 Jul 2007 5:00pm

@Erik: Thanks. I can understand the sky-yearning, but to capture more sky would mean there is less couple, and they are the true subject in my lens at that moment.

Ian Bramham from Manchester, United Kingdom

Vey nice sunset photo - the couple really add to the photo!

@Ian Bramham: Much appreciated.
