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.
Beautiful -- and always so hard to accept that something that pretty is invasive! It's a lovely picture. Last winter, I was all ready to take a picture of some lovely water hyanciths in a swamp (we were in FLorida) when some stranger walked up and said "you know those are invasive species don't you?" As if it would make things worse to take a picture!

Are you sure that tansy is invasive? There's a kind of lookalike called tansy ragwort that looks similar and is very invasive.
Anyway, that's a beautiful photo.
Such a beautiful, delightful capture for the day! Such a beautiful reflection! Hope you have a great weekend!

I have photographed weeds all summer. I find them fascinating.
Yes, very pretty!
I've idly wondered the name of these, but not enough to find out. Thanks for the info and fabulous photo.
Lovely sunshine flowers, - they could certainly join the barn flowers down in the pasture here.
This is beautiful. It almost reminds me of a Monet. Beautiful.
It is VERY pretty!
What a great capture ;o)
Just love the yellow flowers against that brilliant blue sky. Great shot
Great angle of some lovely flowers.
Is tansy really a weed? I used to grow them for dried flower bouquets. :)
Definitely eye catching!

The yellow colour never fails to catch the eye. Invasive or not, the tansy is beautiful, and your capture of it - majestic.
I love blue and yellow. This is a beautiful photograph. Pretty enough to frame. ~~Sherry~~
A beautiful bright yellow, I do not mind that it is a weed. Great shot!
I've got some tansy in my herb garden!
That is ONE gorgeous shot. All the colors are so beautiful.
