Bird House. Home By The Sea. Stunning Sunset Pastel Shades Backdrop Birds On Stiltsville Home, Key Biscayne, Miami, Florida - IMRAN™ __Worth Reading Too!

            I took this photo YWM. Yachting While Mesmerized. 

I idled the twin 8.1 liter Mercruisers of the Sea Ray Sundancer 360. Their roaring energy turned into a rippling purr of silent power, awaiting my further commands. 

The Nikon D300 shutter snapped to attention, as if clicking heels at the snap of my finger. 

I was in command of my life, my camera, my ship, my ship of life. The world lay before me, and the waves danced at my feet. I'd been everywhere, and I was going anywhere I chose.

This 11MB JPG is from the 35MB TIFF Nikon D300 image from that moment. It was captured at a stunning sunset on my last day of yachting in Miami, Florida, before many challenging times came into my life. 

As the sun sets on many aspects of a life in turmoil, and I lose, one after the other, many homes, possessions, properties, rewards of my life's work, I shed not a tear, which would be lost in the oceans on which I am yet to sail to brighter tomorrows.

Good or bad, I have no regrets about any choices I have made in life. Nor would I trade any of the experiences, or people, I have been blessed by having in my life, for anyone else's life and experiences.

As the winter sun set to my right, over Coral Gables in Florida, the silky textures it painted on the sky set this Stiltsville home in dramatic contrasts of dark and light. 

The condemned golden wood, the inviting pink railing. The pelican watching the sun from the roof, another stretching its wings to catch the breeze and warmth for life, while sitting on a dead piling. 

The deepening blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean  at Biscayne Bay Channel had a mild chop, but it too was dying down with the setting sun. Over the silent din of the chop, the reflection of the bird possessed house, unlike the possessed creatures of Alfred Hitchcock's movie The Birds, still made itself known to the atoms of the camera sensor. 

Just like the memories and reflections of this magical life shine bright in my soul, deep into the darkest nights, long after the life giving sun is gone and the passing birds of shared nests have disappeared into the tide of time ebbing, receding into history. 

But the best is still ahead. The best of love. The best of Life. The best of Times. The best News' weeks. The best, of everything.

Goodnight, Night. 

Come Tomorrow, for I humbly but confidently await you. Come Sailmate, future Soulmate, adrift alone on the ocean of life tonight, flying solo on some other horizon today. 

My eyes peel the horizons, of the seven seas and seasonal skies, for your sight. My fingers yearn for your future touch.

Come take my hand as I take you, on board, for the incredible journey that lies ahead, for us.

The ship under my command, I will now captain as our love boat, where your wish, my love, is my command!
