Pure Michigan Sunset

This week's sea glass didn't work out too well, so I went with a sea gull instead.  Minutes away from sunset, these typically pesky birds began swarming around me.  My camera was already in my hands, so I began to shoot what I thought would turn out to look rather Hitchcock-like, but I was pleasantly surprised. I was able to crop out the haphazard direction of the flight of the flock and just zoom in on the one peaceful-looking sea gull silhouette.  What a difference! To top it off, the sun's reflection streaming toward me is evident in this photo, and I just love it!  

I'll get back to the glass and rocks next time, but for now, I hope you'll enjoy this sight that we are so often blessed with on the shores of Lake Michigan.  If you're in love with the ocean, why not give the unsalted Great Lakes a try sometime?

This Week's Scriptural Encouragement from Deuteronomy 28:2 (NIV)

All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God.
