Description
While traveling along the magnificent shoreline of Northern California, I stopped at Duncan’s Cove nestled in Sonoma Coast State Park to take in the majestic scenery.
I could not resist taking a picture of this picnic table overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
If I had packed a lunch and sat at this table, I don’t think I would be able to focus on my meal for very long…
It’s not often one sees a picnic area literally on the western edge of the United States of America.
What an amazing land of scenic beauty.
God bless the U.S.A.!
Seeing the magnificence of God’s creation in nature reminds us to be good stewards of this precious resource to pass on to future generations.
“The earth is the LORD’S, and all it contains,
The world, and those who dwell in it. “
~ Psalm 24:1

Thank you for visiting my virtual art gallery at PropheticPortraits.net! For each artwork that is purchased from my portfolio, I pray over each image for God's peace and blessing to go with the artwork to bless the one making the purchase. I thank you in advance for your time and purchase of my artwork.Your support is greatly appreciated. May God abundantly bless you with His Shalom (peace) and joy!
Embedded in the top right-hand corner is the Hebrew acronym for "B'ezras Hashem" [ בס"ד ] meaning "with God's help". It is a reminder to me as an artist 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".
