December 24, 2018, Sonoma County Coast. I’ve looked at this frame approximately 9,476 times* and failed to see its potential. Today, I saw it with different eyes.** Don’t it make my brown eyes blue. Except they are blue.
Be well. Do good. Be kind. Create.

I asked my husband, “What is one word that describes the moment you see in the horizon sunbeams breaking through after sailing though a storm?” He laughed, “Salvation.”

I wasn’t sure what inconspicuous thing we were invited to look for. In retrospect, I see there was a hint in your reference to eye color.

Thanks very much. Actually I was referring to myself and how long it took me to discover the image that was right in front of me the whole time. A life lesson for yours truly.

Although not a religious person, I do see this as a fine image for Easter. A lot could be read into this.
This happens to me often. Browsing through old files and all of a sudden something that almost was returned to the force field calls out for the “salvation” mentioned above and a beautiful image emerges.

Thank you. I don’t know how many times my lens wasn’t long enough to isolate what I really wanted and I made a mental note to crop. I didn’t make that note on this one, but I should have.

We’ve been under shelter-in-place for three or four weeks. I have lost track. Not sure the difference between shelter-in-place and lockdown. Might just be semantic. Anyway, good on you. Take care.
