There are times when words simply do not suffice — when they’re a mere reflection of a thought or emotion already expressed.
That’s how I felt about the comment section in my previous post. Believe me, I intended to reply to every one of them (and normally I do), but there was something special about them… something decrying further comment.
Simply stated, there wasn’t one word I could add to each beautifully, eloquently, heart-shared sentiment without detracting from them.
So I didn’t.
An anomaly, perhaps? My life is full of them.
Take this crane, for instance.
At first glance (from the deck), he appeared to be walking on water. (My life is full of miracles, too.) I grabbed the camera, zoomed in, and discovered an optical illusion of sorts…
To me, it proves that you can’t improve (or surmise) on a good thing.
Leave it alone. Relish it. Savor it. Be grateful for it.
Thank you very much for your genuine, deeply shared (and deeply felt) comments on my last post.
Enjoying blog world’s finest thinkers with thoughts (and hearts) of their own,

That crane is beautiful in its solitude :)

Uru, the shorebirds here make for great company and the occasional scenic shot. Thanks for stopping by, sweets!
Your crane reminds me of the pelican we had on our pontoon out back today. He was there for 4 hours cleaning his feathers and napping. I wish I’d have some fish for him. John said it made no sense to go to the store to buy fish for a pelican. drat. :)
Lovely photos
Maureen, your pelican story made me smile — I’m with you, but sometimes our practical hubbies prevail. ;) Thank you.
What a beautiful scene to be able to see from your deck. Just gorgeous.
Jas, it’s a blessing every time I go out on the deck. Actually, I can see it from my kitchen, too, so I feel doubly blessed! So glad you enjoyed it.
Wonderful thoughts. It’s awesome having those peaceful moments standing still………
Shirley, it does my heart good knowing that you can feel the peace all the way over in Singapore! xo
I love that image of the crane. It’s stunning. And yes, the crane certainly looks like it’s walking on water xx
Charlie, although “seeing is believing,” I tend to walk by faith, not sight. :) Glad you “saw” it, too! xo
Beautiful pictures my sweet Kim. Peaceful. Walking on water might be a illusion but daily miracles aren’t. :)
Ain’t that the truth, lovely Isabelle?! My heart is touched that you “saw” what I was getting at. Live & learn, eh? xo
Kimby, that picture with the crane is beautiful! Kimby, you are not only a great cook, you describe “life” so well in your words…you’re a wonderful person by heart and I am lucky to have you as one of my closest bloggy friends!
Purabi, I’m sooooo honored by your comment. There’s a core group of us who started as “fledglings” around the same time… so tickled to see where that’s led! I’m delighted to count you among “one of my closest bloggy friends,” too! xo
