For a brief moment it seemed the standing stone was giving a blessing to the photographer.
The standing stone is called The Nags Head and it can be found on the island of St. Agnes, Isles of Scilly.

The Orthodox Churches perform the Great Blessing of Waters on Theophany.[56] The blessing is normally done twice: once on the Eve of the Feast—usually at a Baptismal font inside the church—and then again on the day of the feast, outdoors at a body of water. Following the Divine Liturgy, the clergy and people go in a Crucession (procession with the cross) to the nearest body of water, be it a beach, harbor, quay, river, lake, swimming pool, water depot, etc. (ideally, it should be a body of "living water"). At the end of the ceremony the priest will bless the waters. In the Greek practice, he does this by casting a cross into the water. If swimming is feasible on the spot, any number of volunteers may try to recover the cross. The person who gets the cross first swims back and returns it to the priest, who then delivers a special blessing to the swimmer and their household.

Taken at Ikutama Shrine in Osaka. This shrine was originally next to the Ishiyama Honganji fortified temple complex that stood where Osaka Castle is today. The shrine and the Ishiyama Honganji temple were destroyed in the long siege waged by Oda Nobunaga against the militant monks.
After Toyotomi Hideyoshi decided to build a castle at the site of the old temple, he moved the shrine to its current location.

How great is the goodness
you have stored up for those who fear you.
You lavish it on those who come to you for protection,
blessing them before the watching world.
Psalm 31:19 NLT
Why a chair for "blessing?" Becuase this is from my childhood home. My parents are downsizing and have no need of this table any more. Rather than see it put out in the trash, my family has given it a new home. I am blessed to have both a history to cherish and a piece of it to touch.

This is a re-edit of a portrait taken earlier this week. It introduces a slightly tighter crop along the top of Blessing's hair (just a few milimeters) which was suggested by Poupetta. Thanks for helping out Poupetta!
My "Irish Blessing" print. It features the well-known saying:
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
In shades of green and framed with shamrocks.
“Reflect on your present blessings, on which every man has many, not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.” ~ Charles Dickens
