Sunset behind construction site
Finishing out a day of shooting. The sun was setting behind this crane on over a new LNG storage tank. It is a new fixture on the island. It is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. -- Ephesians 2:8-9
Don't you love gifts! Especially when they're truly given, with no strings attached, all we have to do is receive them. The greatest gift we've ever received has nothing to do with our efforts. It is a gift from God. We didn't earn it, deserve it, or purchase it. God gave it through his sacrificial gift so our salvation would not be our boast, but his kindness.
Holy God, I can never thank you enough for sending Jesus and paying the debt for my sin. May I never presume on your grace or take the cost of your gift lightly. At the same time, Father, I want to live confidently, knowing that my salvation is not dependent on my mistakes but upon your grace. Because of such a lavish gift, I want to live for you today in a way that reflects the joy I have at receiving such an awesome gift. In the name of Jesus, my source of hope and grace, I pray. Amen.
Maranatha
God bless

Whoa! This is one gorgeous photo. I think it's one of your best ever.
Thanks Bruce.
I was testing out the 400mm f/5.6 a bud loaned me. I wanted to use it before buying one. I like it. Very fast focus and lighter than the 100-400mm. I will miss the IS, got use to that. As an old man I'm as stable as I once was.. :))
