Sting Ray

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


Poem Artwork

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.

They are indeed wonderful angelic creatures. Nice tribute to the beautiful Sting-Ray,
