Was diving off of Grand Turk and took this picture of a Sting Ray. Turned out quite interesting...

Soaring on wings that cannot fly scouring the sand for life drifting over beds where treasues lie living below the worldly strife The gentle undulation of sturdy wings in grace beyond mere mortals the joy of spirit within sings with this glimpse of other portals With colors of grey, or blue or green the angels of the deep glide stately by when they are seen giving memories to keep

Awesome write, Michael. Stingrays are incredible creatures. While in Punta Cana in April this year, we had an opportunity to swim with stingrays and actually interact with them. Of course their quills were removed, and it was in a controlled environment; but nevertheless an amazing experience.

Been down there with the likes of these, on tanks, never wanted to get close to one at all. Read about a woman who swam over the top of one back in the 70's, took a barb through the heart, instant death for her! Two days ago Stevo took the same fate, and though they are one of God's majestic creations, right now I hate them!!
Beautifully written.

These creatures are true poetry in motion. Thanks for sharing this with those of us who don't dive and will probably never see such a wonder in their natural environment.
