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.

Lovely red, white and blue!
Our flag is slightly unfurled, the 50 stars well defined under a glorious fair weather shy. Such a lovely view!
Lovely skies and clouds and our beautiful flag! Great capture for the day, Dimple! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy!

I always like seeing Old Glory, especially on a sunny day...
Oh, my goodness! This is such a perfect photo! Superb!
Stunning way for us to begin the weekend--a beautiful shot, Dimple. Hope your weekend is great!
I love shots of Old Glory! Red, white, and blue is always beautiful against the sky.
Beautiful!
This time - a patriotic capture , the american nation's flag. I've been thinking: since blue (sky) and white (clouds) are the colors of Israel's flag -this could be a good picture to emphasize the friendship between the two nations.
Always a delight to catch up with you and your stunning photographs. I was needing some inspiration on this hot and humid day...thanks.

I like how you've used the flag as another element in a sky photo. It's much more interesting than either shot separately.
