OK OK, I know its not the greatest photo in the world but I was sitting in the middle of the road hanging out the window of my vehicle and had only a few seconds before he does what he always does when its picture time, he takes off!!!
Meet the Kingfisher...Long-time symbol of peace and prosperity.. If a Kingfisher enters your life, your will have new sunshine and prosperity unfolding within your life. You may find yourself with a new opportunity and like the Kingfisher when she dives in the water for food, you may feel that you want to take a dive and see what happens...
In Greek mythology. a woman by the name of Halcyone married Ceyx. Shortly after their wedding, Ceyx had to make a voyage. During which there was a great storm and Ceyx drowned. Halcyone walked the shores of the beaches longing for her husband. Then one day his body washed up on the shore. Halcyone was so grieved that she threw herself into the ocean. The gods were so moved by her love for Ceyx that she and her husband were given new life as Kingfishers.
They rose out of the ocean and flew off happily into the blue skies. It was declared the seas would be calm and the sun would shine for seven days before and seven days after the shortest day of the year. This time came to beknown as the Halcyon days. Today, all sunlit days upon the water are considered Halcyon days.
May your life be filled with opportunities that sparkle like the sun on the waters of halcyon days!
