Meditations of My Heart--
Photos and Thoughts on Life
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.
I love rhubarb and have good memories of picking it from our garden and eating raw and Mom making rhubarb pies too! Your leaves texture has been captured well with this photo.
Rhubarb! So nostalgic...it floods me with memories of childhood gardens. Love it in black and white...a whole new take on a very old symbol of spring and a growing earth.

I love those. We used to eat a lot of it when I was a child. Nice shot with lots of texture.
It looks like metal--mine really came out fast this year. I think the long cold winter really helped it grow faster.

We have some of that! Great idea to make it b&w. I agree with Kaye, it looks like metal. Nice photo!
I love the crinkly leaves!
I must say that I started smiling when I saw that little face hidden away in the rooftop! I thought it looked quite sweet :)
You are lucky to have it - a desert for gods.

The b&w treatment makes it look like an exposed heart...
The lines and details really come out in black and white.
Have a great weekend!
A wonderfully reflective leaf. It's a long time since I grew rhubarb...
