I will save it in my Favs. so I can do a painting of this one one day, with your permission of course..THis is a most lovely photo! How beautiful!!!
Great capture Perry! I love the great detail that you have shown us on the turtle's shell. The colors are great too. The brown turtle, the blue water, it all adds up to a surrealistic image. Well done. Thanks :~)
In Christ alone my hope is foundHe is my light, my
strength, my songThis Cornerstone, this solid groundFirm through the fiercest drought and stormWhat heights
of love, what depths of peaceWhen fears are stilled, when
strivings ceaseMy Comforter, my All in AllHere in
the love of Christ I standIn Christ alone, who took
on fleshFullness of God in helpless babeThis gift of
love and righteousnessScorned by the ones He came to
save'Till on that cross as Jesus diedThe wrath
of God was satisfiedFor every sin on Him was laidHere in the death of Christ I liveThere in the
ground His body layLight of the world by darkness slainThen bursting forth in glorious DayUp from the grave He
rose againAnd as He stands in victorySin's
curse has lost it's grip on meFor I am His and He is
mineBrought with the precious blood of ChristNo guilt in life, no fear in deathThis is the power of
Christ in meFrom life's first cry to final breathJesus commands my destinyNo power of hell, no scheme of
manCan ever pluck me from His hand'Till He
returns or calls me homeHere in the power of Christ
I'll stand
