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.

Mine is here.
Pure magic!
Stunning sky in the Big Sky Country. Where is the lake located?
My husband's folks came from Willowcreek, Threeforks, somewhere near Bozeman.
His childhood is full of such memories.
That is really gorgeous!
I like it! It`s great.
Monochrome does add drama to photos. But these clouds are dramatic in their own right.
Your editing is wonderful.
So pretty!! I bet when this was taken it is a warm and happy day. Happy weekend!

Really like what you did with your photo I like making firewood to
The clouds are lovely - fluffy. Did they look this beautiful before you used the filter?
Gorgeous monochrome! I love the varied textures of your clouds and the play of light and shadow. ~ Calico Contemplations
The monochrome actually makes the clouds darker, more ominous. The wide sky of Montana have offer a stunning look we just don't see back east - expansive, tough at times as beautiful!
Great clouds formation!
Nice capture.
Wow, some of the best clouds I've seen...so well defined...they seem so dense, unlike most clouds.
Very towering clouds which have been delightfully backlit.
An interesting variation - I have never tried pure clouds and sky in monochrome.
Wow, that is a really awe inspiring sky.
I think this is just fantastic! Lovely shot-
This is an awesome shot. I love the dramatic clouds. These type of clouds are fun for finding shapes! :)
Thanks for playing along. Have a great weekend!

Just proves that Montana is 'big sky' country. Nice shot and good use of the filter.
Stunning sky, and perfect in mono.
Looks like a little fluffy dog playing in a bubble bath!
Magnificent monochrome clouds ;-)
Hugs and blessings,
