The feature image is a sunset in Jacksonville, Florida a few years ago. I really thought the heavens were going to open up.
This post is in response to TERRI WEBSTER SCHRANDT Sunday Stills challenge. The theme this week is Celestial.
Yesterday, which was Sunday, 6/6, D-Day for any WWII enthusiasts, Frank and I took a day trip to St. Simons Island, Georgia. I had been stuck in the house for over a week. I’m limited to what I can do because of my foot problem. I did find out the problem and I have a torn tendon in my right foot. I see a surgeon this coming Friday. No hiking…limited walking and not much exercise except low impact that doesn’t put pressure on my foot. AWESOME!
Anyway, this photo was taken from the car, moving at about 75 mph on Interstate 95 through the tinted window of Frank’s Prius with my IPhone. Not bad, but the clouds were amazing!
Taken last summer at Little Talbot Island State Park. I had to walk out into the surf to get this shot as the tide was coming in. It would have been bad if I had gotten knocked off my feet with my phone in my hand. Yep, taken with my IPhone.
This is for Jez’s Water Water Everywhere #81.
This is one of my favorite moon shots so I thought I would share it again as it goes with the theme this week.
Total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017. Here is the full post from that day if you missed it.
Silhouette of someone fishing off the Sunshine Skyway pier in St. Petersburg, Florida. The view is the sunset over Tampa Bay.
I will conclude with one of the most celestial symbols we have on Earth and that is our beautiful angels.

I’m sorry about your foot. But it really is the best possible scenario. I see you up and walking and hiking like normal fairly soon, D
Thanks Cee! I could do all this and live with the pain but I’m scared of tearing it all the way so just taking it easy as much as I can. 🙂
These are all fantastic photos, but I really like that reflection of the sun on the water in the third photo. Great moon photos too!
Thank you Susan. I love getting those shots of the sun’s rays coming through the clouds. I can’t wait to go to the beach once my foot is healed and get more. 🙂
🙂 Hope you will heal up soon.
I appreciate that Susan. 🙂
Gorgeous! I also especially love the third pic 💙
Thanks Paula! It is one of my favorite shots too. 🙂
Absolutely marvelous photos, Lisa. Loved it all
Thank you Shweta! 🙂
You’re most welcome 🙂
Noooo, a torn tendon, Lisa?? I’m so sorry to hear! You’ve had your woes the last few weeks! At least you’ve managed to continue blogging and share some fabulous photos of our moon and sun. Love the angels, and you reminded me to get a really special one for my Christmas tree this year…our first Christmas in our new home and one we will be at home for in forever! 2021 may be a celestial Christmas!
Yeah, I’ve had a time, but staying positive. I just want to go out and bird and spend time at the beach. I just don’t want to injure and snap what is left in there. That would be bad. At least it is only 3 more days and I see the surgeon. Yay for that! The angel that is in black & white is 29 years old. Her lights burned out last Christmas. I want to rewire her but not sure if I can. Maybe I can get my son to do it. He is an electrical genius. I don’t want to replace her. She is special and sits upon the tree that is that same age. 🙂
Hope your foot is better soon, Lisa! A torn tendon sounds painful! 💐🤗💐
Thanks Virginia. I’ve had some pain and dealt with it since January. Honestly, I’m more concerned of tearing it the rest of the way before I can have surgery. 🙂
Fabulous shots!
Thanks Margaret! 🙂
Gorgeous skies, and Moon images, Lisa! I hope your foot issue gets better real soon!
Thanks Deborah. I hope so too. I’m ready to get back out in nature. LOL! 🙂
I hope it’s real soon that get out there!
Me too! I’ve missed it. Most of the birds are scattered for the summer so I have nothing to look at out the window. LOL! I told Frank that we need to go to the beach and he can wheel me out there on the handicap beach wheelchair. hehehe
That would work for me! 😀
The migrants have largely left here as well. I’m not even hearing or seeing many Red-wing or Yellow-headed blackbirds. Just the usual suspects stay…House Sparrows, swallows, and Gold and House Finches, along with the mallards.
I’m sorry to hear about your foot Lisa – I hope the visit to the surgeon on Friday goes well and comes up with a helpful solution. Meanwhile you have some wonderful celestial images here – I especially like the opener (who wouldn’t?!) and the Little Talbot one. I’ve done similar wading in the past and like you been a little nervous about dropping my phone or camera!
Thanks Sarah. I hope it goes well too. I can live with the pain, but I’m afraid of tearing it wholly. Then I will be in real trouble. 🙂 It’s funny, I don’t get too nervous about dropping it unless the unsuspecting waves are coming up behind me. LOL! 🙂
Yes, it’s the unpredictability of the waves that causes the problems! Good luck on Friday 🤗
Thanks Sarah! 🙂
great photo of the eclipse and good luck with your foot problem…
Thanks! The eclipse was amazing. We are planning to go to Texas for the full solar eclipse in 2024 and be in totality once more. 🙂 We shall see what the surgeon says. I don’t think I have much of a choice.
you are planning ahead!
Oh, we had planned before we drove to SC to be in the path of this last one. We looked up the next one and have been planning to go since. Don’t have any detailed plans but we know we are going if we are able. 🙂
the nomad life – love it!
Planned spontaneity. Oxymoron. LOL! 🙂

Wonderful shots, Lisa. Sorry about your foot, hope it’s back to normal very soon 🙂
Thank you Cathy. I have a pretty long recovery. 6-12 weeks but will no more after the surgery once they get in there to see exactly what they are dealing with. 🙂
Those are all gorgeous. I don’t think I could pick a favorite.
Thank you Kirstin. I have a hard time picking a lot of favorite adventures. 🙂
