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.

This is delicate and elegant. It was a clear evening indeed.
The beauty of the sky is accented so well by the slender grasses. The ground cover accentuates the wide sky. This sunset in pink and lavender is breathtaking!
Lovely shot, love the simplicity of the composition!
Enjoy your weekend!

Terry, It is not wheat, or a field. My husband thinks it is probably the seed heads of what we call quack grass. They were at the end of our parking area, where it drops down to the field. Our weather lately has been clouds, rain, and snow. This was taken last month.
Very beautiful, love those plant..
Come and peek when the sun sets in Land of the Morning Calm
What a graceful way to draw attention to the lovely sky! Happy Sky Watch Friday to you.

The grass is past its prime, but the sky is still in full bloom!
Simply beautiful, the flush of colour across the horizon is wonderful.
Lovely in its simp;icity.

That's a beautiful shot. I love the way the tall grasses look against the sky.
Such a beautifully soft skyline. A peaceful and relaxing sky for Friday. ~ Calico Contemplations

Lovely photo. I love the silhouette against the sky. I appreciated the comments left on my blog. I really do believe that children are a special gift from God and feel privileged to have them.
This makes me think of the prairies in summer. Just beautiful!!
