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.

Fabulous photo! Wow! I really enjoy looking at your pictures. They remind me of where I grew up. Israel is very different. Next week we are off to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands... can't wait!
a very interesting find
How rare to see a rainbow at this time of year! Nice capture!
Thanks for visiting,
I went through Idaho to go to Yellowstone last summer.
An aquarium is a good thing to have in the house; water is a major element and considered as bringing luck & prosperity.
As for the reflection of the rainbow - I'm wordless.
It's wonderful..
my MYM
The fish glides underneath the surface seemingly unaware of the glorious rainbow he share there. The look is brilliant, the man-made arc of colors enhancing the natural sea creature. A bold and equally soft look!
It's a pretty reflection! Thanks for sharing.
Great capture of the reflection! Those aren't always easy - you did a great job.
Happy New Year!
