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.
How kind the four-hoof herbivore allowed the beautiful flowers to remain. I hope you may continue to enjoy the view of the pink lilies for the rest of the season!
So lovely, but I'm horribly allergic so the only way I ever get to enjoy lilies is in photos.

hehe. Very lovely ShadowShot lily. Those deer were being kind to you. Our deer are absolute terrors...they eat most everything so if I don't have a fence up, it eventually gets ett!!
Hi Dimple, I love the way the close up shot makes me focus on the colours and shapes-in an abstract way. Tha black and white photo is lovely too. Thanks for following too!

The flower looks so beautiful, I can almost smell it!
Have a great week!
Deer are exciting to see, but can really destroy flower beds. Gald they left some for you to enjoy!
He does look hungry...and what a beauty!

I am glad the deer were kind enough to leave them so that you could get this great photo!
