Description
"What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset." ~ Crowfoot
Yet another photo taken on my recent vacation. I thought it fitting for the close of the work week. It is rare for me to see such placid ocean water, though the barrier islands in the distance help. If you zoom in, you can see the distant shores of Boca Grande and Gasparilla Sound. There isn't a lot going on in this photo, but I find it rather calming. I hope everyone has a relaxing weekend, though I doubt those in the path of Hurricane Ike will be. Be sure to send them some positive thoughts. I will be resuming my Moderator duties next week, see you then! -----
Thanks for your shimmery comments on my previous upload,
Somewhere Over ...
As an aside, Sundogs and Iridescent clouds are two different (though related) phenomenon. ;')
