Credit Where It is Due
I like to make photographs, and I enjoy being praised for what I have done. But God teaches a different attitude, one of thankfulness and humility. He pointed that out to me recently. I DO NOT MAKE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ALONE. I didn't create the light, or the technology which makes photography possible. I didn't buy my camera, it was a gift from my husband. I didn't give myself the ability to see through the camera in order to make an image which others find pleasing. It is right to use what I have been given to the best of my ability, but it is wrong to take credit for what I have not done. God made the light, the elements which are used to manufacture the camera, and the world from which these images come. He has given me gifts: people to teach me, eyes to see with, and a brain to process information. I am thankful for these gifts. He deserves all the praise, not I.

Great reflection! I'm partial to the California flag since it's my home state. :)
Actually I came very close to posting a reflection of four American flags. I 'm sure I'll post it sooner or later.
Thanks for being part of the meme!
Nice reflection shot! I am partial to flags also. I also like your Skywatch post, beautiful...
Pretty cool! I like the multiple imaging here :)
Hi Dimple! I see that my comment didn't turn up. I wanted to say that I like your reflection and I enjoy this meme! Dimple is a great name. I also like the Lord of the Rings and was in New Zealand on the places where the movie was shot.
James, Thanks, California is my home state, also. I was there visiting family when I took this picture.
Carol & subtorp77, Thanks!
Wil, Hi to you! I bet visiting those places in NZ was great!
lovely reflections, very interesting patterns they make
Very well done I think I must look at least three times to find where they joins.
Thank you so much for dropping by my playground. I really appreciate it. This is a wonderful photo and so fits the theme :) Well done :)
