Meditations of My Heart--
Photos and Thoughts on Life
Credit Where It Is Due
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.
Is that one of the fragrant paths of Rivendell? :) I can almost see an elf at the far end! I love trees. I'm still wishing they can talk. Oh, the stories they can tell! :D
Thanks for taking a walk on my site. :) Have a good week ahead!
These Giants are so beautiful.... They give me a feeling of peace and harmony. Thank you for the gorgeous photograph and for reminding me of the Red Cedars and their glory. Sherry

I don't think I've ever seen one before. I do know the wood smells fragrant, can you smell that when you walk next to them? It must be wonderful to walk that path.

What an awesome yard, I love trees and your cedars are wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
That little pathway through the woods seems to be beckoning me to follow!
Great shot.
Lovely back yard and trees. I agree wih Maggie May - the little pathway seems to be inviting us to follow.
Your cedars must smell delicious. What kinds are they?
Lakeviewer-they are Western Red Cedar, a fairly common species of tree in our area. They do smell wonderful!

The trunks are cedars truly are lovely and you captured them nicely!
A lovely photo for Sunday. The bark has interesting texture from some cedars with which I am familiar. Some have a shaggy, hairy bark.
