At another time of my life, I lived in North River Shores, in Stuart, looking west over the wide beginning branch of the North Fork of the St Lucie River. I remember feeling like I was seeing Stuart for the very first time, although I had lived here “my whole life.” The sunsets were the most beautiful I had ever seen. Amazing… Like the canvass of the Creator, night after night.
I thought to myself, why haven’t I seen this before? Sewall’s Point, Stuart, Jensen Beach all front row seats to this phenomenon of nature…but North River Shores? This view is beyond anything one can experience anywhere in Martin County…
The years passed, life changed, and I no longer reside in North River Shores, but ironically my brother’s family lives directly across from where I did reside. And my brother still looks upon this sky, that upon occasion, will bring you to your knees in worship of something beyond this world.
My “little” brother’s name is Todd, (http://thurlowpa.com) and he took this photo Wednesday, September 10th.
I feel the rainbow in the storm clouds is most symbolic. There is alway hope, even in the brewing, impending storm…
Very nice post Jacqui. And you are right, we have been enjoying some spectacular sunrises, sunsets and seeing rainbows of hope and Gods promises here in Stuart. Take a moment today to give thanks and enjoy the beauty around us. Thank you Todd for capturing this sunset over the St. Lucie River.
Beautiful my little smokey friend:)
Thank you Debbie. Thank you so much.
