Eagle Ray’s Flight
I seek truth and beauty in the transparency of an autumn leaf, in the perfect form of a seashell on the beach, in the curve of a woman’s back, in the texture of an ancient tree trunk, but also in the elusive forms of reality. ~Isabel Allende

I was awed by the picture and touched to the core with Allende’s words. Perfect.

I’m glad, Mimi. I loved the quote too, and the photo seemed appropriate. I love Eagle Rays and this was the only one I saw while in Bonaire last month. It was flying above our heads and way too far away to chase, so I just took the shot from below. I did like how it came out. Thank you!

Yes, very elusive. And these beautiful Eagle Rays are very shy. I love seeing them when on a dive!

Yes I did! The temptation was to chase after it, but it was too far above me, so I decided to take the shot anyway. I do like how it came out! Thank you, Frank!

Wow, Cathy, beautiful! I wonder if it tastes like chicken?
Sorry, I couldn’t control myself. I know the Eagle Ray is an endangered species.

This comment definitely got the desired effect, V. It made me laugh! I don’t know if they’re endangered or if they taste like chicken, but I suspect they taste more like swordfish!

Oh, good, glad you laughed! I think it’s the spotted Eagle Ray that’s endangered. Maybe it’s the solid colored ones have targets on their backs, if solid color ones exist?

You’re right, these are the spotted Eagle Rays. I just didn’t know that they were endangered… We see them fairly often on dive trips, so I didn’t know the species was in trouble!

Thank you, Amy. We were at a depth of about 90 feet when the Eagle Ray swam overhead. I so wanted to swim up to it, but that wouldn’t have been safe, so I had to settle for this shot. Then I decided I really liked what I got!
