Description
A magnificent great egret (Ardea alba) takes flight over a marsh near San Francisco Bay, lit by the afternoon sun.
God sent this beauty while I was on a break from errands and took a short scenic walk by the bay with my precious Mother. It was a lovely spring-like first day of winter 2017.
Walking is a fabulous way to unwind and relax, and is recommended by many.
This would be the final nature walk with my dear Mom before her 9-1/2 month journey of hospitalization, miraculous recovery and homegoing to Heaven. This image is dedicated in loving memory of her.
During the Hanukkah and Christmas holidays and throughout the year, be blessed, not stressed… know that God loves you with His everlasting love.
Have a fabulous day, and a blessed forever as you receive that most important gift of all ~ asking Yeshua Jesus into your heart to be your Savior and Messiah.
I know that is what my precious Mother Cheryl would have wanted for you.
“Look at the birds of the air.
They do not sow or reap
or gather into barns;
yet your Father in heaven feeds them.
Are you not of more value than they?”
— The Words of Yeshua Jesus,
Matthew 6:26, Tree of Life Version (TLV)

Embedded in the top right-hand corner is the Hebrew acronym for "B'ezras Hashem" [ב ס " ד] meaning "with God's help". It is a reminder to me as an artist and photographer of my dependence on the Almighty, the Originator of all creativity. This is a similar acknowledgement used by great artists like Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel who signed their work with the Latin phrase, "Soli Deo gloria" which means, "Glory to God alone".

William, thank you very much for the honor of your kind words and for featuring this image in your amazing birding group! I am so sorry I responded very late, after you had already gone to Heaven. :-( I was away from FAA while taking care of a family member. I know you are in Heaven, a gloriously better place where there is no more death or sickness, as you have received Jesus into your heart. We miss you greatly this side of eternity! My prayers continue for God's comfort and strength for you and your family.
