Description

A great blue heron (Ardea herodias) makes a majestic statement with water streaming from its feet as it seeks higher ground at a wildlife refuge near San Francisco Bay. This version features the comforting words of Psalm chapter 91, verse 4 superimposed on the image.

The largest of the North American herons, great blue herons attain a height of up to 54 inches (138 cm) and a wingspan of up to 79 inches (201 cm). Their habitat ranges from Alaska, Canada and the Pacific coast east to Florida and south to Mexico and South America.

Their exquisite plumage reminds me of Psalm 91, which promises safety and security for those who place their trust in God::

“He who dwells in the shelter of Elyon,
will abide in the shadow of Shaddai.
I will say of Adonai,
'He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.'
For He will rescue you from the hunter’s trap
and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with His feathers,
and under His wings you will find refuge.
His faithfulness is body armor and shield.”
Psalm 91:1-4 (Tree of Life Version [TLV])

Artwork notes:

Embedded in the top right-hand corner is the Hebrew acronym for "B'ezras Hashem" [ב ס " ד] meaning "with God's help". It is a reminder to me as an artist and photographer of my dependence on the Almighty, the Originator of all creativity. This is a similar acknowledgement used by great artists like Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel who signed their work with the Latin phrase, "Soli Deo gloria" which means, "Glory to God alone".
