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.

Benches and fountain. Life is good there.
Beautiful spot and very inviting bench....but I'll wait for a more summery day to try it out!
I can just imagine sitting quietly on that bench, enjoying the lovely surroundings, - but would I need an umbrella soon?
Oh that is a fine bench! The wood is so nice but those sides are what grabbed my attention because I have never seen any like it before now.
Drop by and see my bench for this meme.
Love the fountain too. . .
love the picture of the bench, very tastefully done composition
One must admit - benches and autumns do not always go together :-) , but when they do, this would be a nice place to enjoy it!
Surely summer is not over yet.. I think we all need a change in season and in other ways. Do you sometimes get a little hum drum with the same old thing? I do. Time for some fall festivals and caramel apples, yum. Have a great weekend.

Oh how I love a bench, for just enjoying life around it. I love to people watch, almost as much as I like sky watching...
