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.

A lot or a little red is all the same - for Ruby Tuesday that is! The sun on the surface is beautiful!
Perfect and serene.
What an amazing combination: the red item and the "watery water"!
A perfectly serene scene!
Such clear picture of these fantasy waves and the melted gold of the sunlight - beautiful!

So beautiful, just love the sunlight dancing on that water. Thank you for sharing, and thank you also for visiting my blog and leaving such a nice comment.
How did you get that red "diamond" to work so beautifully with the reflection on the water?
An artsy shot.
Beautiful sun reflection!
Pretty reflection on the water!
Leora-The red "diamond" is part of a fishing lure. It's also the part of the photo that worked, and I didn't know. I was looking at the sun reflection when I took the picture; I didn't notice the pole and lure until later. So God helped me take the picture, because He knew it wouldn't have been nearly as interesting without the lure!
"Luck comes to the prepared mind" :-)
Looks like such a peaceful place to fish.

Perfect shot! Imagine how beautiful it all looks to Him. . .
Give my best to Idaho, my old home.
The light in the water is lovely.

Beautiful limpid water, definitely soothing.
That's a great shot, Dimple -that little red is so effective in your pic!
